Family Weekend Sessions Are Now On YouTube - If you or anyone in your Life Group was unable to attend some of the sessions from Family Weekend last weekend, you can find the messages here. Continue to pray that this past Family Weekend would yield much fruit in the lives of the parents and children of Compass Bible Church.

Men’s Retreat Registration Live - Our second annual Men’s Retreat is coming up in two months, October 27-29. We will head up to Quaker Hill Camp & Conference Center in McCall. Our theme is Victory, where we will learn about victory over sin through Christ. Registration for the retreat is live; you can learn more and register for the retreat here. Please encourage the men in your life group to sign up and attend this year’s retreat.
Men’s Retreat Accommodations - We know that some men have physical realities that make a “camp” atmosphere a little difficult. Please note that Quaker Hill’s accommodations are on the nicer end of the camp experience. The upper floors of the main building have an attached bathroom to the bunks inside. So there is no walking outside or lack of privacy when it comes to using the restrooms. The sleeping areas and beds are comfortable and have more climate control than in the past, and there are indoor rest/meeting areas as well.

Shoulder to Shoulder for the Gospel
God’s Heart for Every Church
Philippians 1:9-11

Why should being “pure and blameless for the day of Christ” be such a strong desire for every Christian? What are some of the ways you may be tempted to get distracted from this goal by worldly definitions of “success” or by anything else?
Read Galatians 5:16-24. What are the biggest things that could keep you from being prepared for the day of Christ? As you consider the first list here (*the works of the flesh”), what are some of these sins that you need to repent of or especially guard against? What are some of the “fruit of the Spirit” that you would prayerfully like to see more of in your life?
Read John 13:34. As you think about the standard of love to which Jesus has called us, what are some ways you would like to see your commitment to others “abound more and more”?
Read Philippians 1:9-10a. How would you like to see your love grow in wisdom? How could you be more intentional about getting to know people? How would you like to grow in discernment as you encourage or admonish others?
Read Colossians 1:9-14. As you consider this prayer and the one in our own passage, what are some of the specific requests that you want to more faithfully pray for the people on your prayer list?
