7 PAX came out to play with toys and explore what it takes to build faith. It was surprisingly warm for 40 degrees and a pretty good morning for a beatdown. Here’s what we did.

Words of wisdom about Noah shared

Noah was called to build a boat to save him and his family. It was hard work. Every day there was a significant amount of effort. He faced embarrassment, it consumed his resources, but for him it was worth it.
What is God calling each of us to do to ensure our family is safe in Christ for eternity?

Words of wisdom shared about Zerubabbel and Joshua

When the exiles returned from captivity, God called them to rebuild the temple. These were the faithful returnees, but they put off building for 17 years.

What has God called us to do for His kingdom that are we putting off?

God withheld His blessing all the time they delayed but promised to bless them as they began the work on His home. (See scripture below)
Is God withholding blessing as you hesitate to do what He’s called you to.

Words of wisdom shared about Ezra and Nehemiah

These men were called to teach God’s word and build the wall around Jerusalem. The book of Nehemiah contains lots of great lessons on leadership. Nehemiah regularly prayed and took action.

consider what God might be calling you to do

Moleskin

Thanks for being willing to listen this morning. It’s always important to be reminded the significant work God has called us to as men, and especially as fathers. Out of all the things we find important in this life, what is getting our best effort and focus. Men, we will live forever. Our family will live forever. What is more important than serving God’s kingdom and doing all we can to ensure our families know and trust Jesus. Keep praying for your families. Keep serving them well.
Until next time SYITG.

““Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord. You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.””
‭‭Haggai‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
“Now then, consider from this day onward. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider: Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on I will bless you.””
‭‭Haggai‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬
