Outpost 42 represented in Medora ND this weekend. Commander Jon is out hanging with his family for a reunion but took some time to send us some of the absolutely stunning landscape of ND. Y’all, he is in his element. Loving God’s Beauty and amazed by His wondrous work through creation! Just look at these views!

A godly man trusts God’s plan even when he cannot see the whole picture.

Boy oh boy was it hot outside today. But Outpost 42 braved the heat and went fishing. Commander Jon shared these pictures with us so we wanted to make sure everyone here was able to see them too. Fish were caught. Sunburns maybe a thing too. And fun was had. Commander Jon shared a devotion called “Gone Fishing” (written by Commander Jon). The boys, and men, were challenged to show God’s love by being Fishers of men (Matthew 4:19). Here’s a snippet and the challenge: “every time you show someone God’s love, you’re casting your line into the water and reeling in something way better than a fish — you’re helping someone discover that they matter to God.
So grab your rod. Pick your spot. And get ready — because Jesus wants to take you fishing.”

The challenge for all Christian’s, to go into the world and make disciples…fishers of men. Are you ready to answer the call?

Well here’s something interesting. Commander Jon shared his devotion with us for Saturday and it’s funny how the thoughts align. He is using the same verse but from Matthew. God does cool things. Don’t forget, Outpost 42 is going fishing on Saturday July 25.

A godly man follows Jesus before he follows anyone else.

“But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” —1 Peter 2:20-21

Good morning Outpost 42! We hope you stayed cool yesterday. It was a hot one. And today sounds like it’s going to be just a hot. But we have some exciting news to maybe help cool ya down.

Regular Monthly Outpost Meeting is scheduled for July 25. That’s also the last day of the state fair which means the church parking lot is being used for fair goers and is a chaotic mess trying to get in and out. We typically go off site so we don’t throw monkey wrenches in the parking operations. This year will be no different.

Outpost 42 will be “Gone Fishin’” that day. Meet at Commander Bob’s at 1pm to travel out to the Sportsman’s pond for an afternoon of fishing. Which means, we are working on the fishing merit! Here’s all the details in a flyer. If yall need directions or an address to Commander Bob’s, comment here or send us an email and we will shoot you the location.

We Gone Fishin’

Fire craft is always a hit with the Rangers. Several boys had to work a little bit to get flames but after that they wanted to make more and more and more. The boys also learned about the 5 things a fire does and the spiritual applications. From Commander Jon’s lesson as a summary “God’s Holy Prescence illuminates, warms, purifies, and transforms what he redeems”. After all the fire making was complete, a devotion was covered. Commander Jon talked about the Spiritual Fire Triangle. Fuel is God’s Word. Heat is the Holy Spirit. And Oxygen is our prayer and worship. Here is a challenge for everyone. Which side of the Spiritual Fire Triangle is missing you your life?
If you say no fuel – Begin to read the Bible more
If you say no heat – Ask the Holy Spirit to ignite your heart
If you say no oxygen – Begin to worship and pray

No Fuel, No fire
No Spark, No fire
No air, No Fire
No Word, no Spirit, no Prayer ……… No Spiritual Fire
No FIRE, no LIFE.
