7 faithful joined to discuss the difficult topic of Forgiveness. We went over Matthew 18, Romans 3:21-24. Christ tells us all are worthy of grace & forgiveness and practicing forgiveness with others allows us to accept his grace. Lots of good discussion and some good examples of the difficulty of this topic in their own life. Couple of PAX tearing up, including YHC, means we all have work to do. Plus Boberry’s new 2.0 made an appearance!

Four gathered for some 3rd F discussion on trust. Who do you trust? We began by recounting the story in Genesis 22 of Abraham and Isaac. YHC asked how old everyone thought Isaac was when Abraham was about to sacrifice him. DTH said 7, Gypsy said 37, and YHC was thinking more like 18. In any case, Isaac was old enough to know what was going on and yet he fully trusted his father. Jesus does the same in the Garden of Gethsemane in Matthew 26. Is anyone having trouble fully trusting God and what exactly does it mean to…

Prayers for those facing Covid and other darkness in their life. We explored the power of light in the darkness, how God created the light and gave us the Word. He also gave us the power to choose the right path AND also the power to bring our light to others. How can you be a light in the darkness for others? Genesis 1:1-5 1 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, ​2the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. ​3Then God said, ‘Let…

Six script studies tackled our bi-weekly 3rd F Zoom call with only minor tech issues. Topic was the concept of Sabbath, in both the old & new testament. Lot of focus on 2020, with all the isolation and chaos being similar to a Sabbath year to refocus and renew with yourself and family. NMS: Gypsy worked in a good Old Testament stoning verse, so par for the course. Good group and good discussion as always. Apologies for the Q’s spotty reception. Next 3rd F is 12/22. Who will bring home the meaning of Christmas for this Q?

A four PAX reunited over Zoom for some 3rd F. Thankfully, none had used the notes that YHC posted for last time, because that was the basis for our discussion. The Headline Analyzer says that “Big Gulp and Hot Fries” is a better headline than “Who Are You?”, but what does it know? Probably some algorithmic bias in the AI… The 3rd F continues Tuesday, December 8th at 8pm. SYITG!

RVA’s virtual 3rd F men’s open faith discussion covered the book of Job.In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. We read that Job did not have a tipping point to drive him away from his integrity and faith. Would you? What is it? Can you identify it and harden yourself against it now? Where is your Shield lock if you were to hit this tipping point event? Who will sit with you for 7 days in silence? 6 men of RVA talked…
