Bible Verse: Genesis 17:5

“No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.”

Tonight’s message comes from the story of Abram, who later became Abraham.

Abram had already been following God, but God had made him an incredible promise. He told Abram that he would become the father of many nations.

The difficult part was that Abram and his wife Sarah were already very old and had no children.

From Abram’s perspective, the promise seemed impossible.

But God saw something Abram could not yet see.

Then God changed his name.

Abram became Abraham.

God gave him a new name connected to the person and purpose God had promised for him.

I think there is a powerful lesson here for all of us.

Sometimes we only see who we are right now.

Maybe we see our weaknesses.

Maybe we see our failures.

Maybe we see where we’re out of shape, where we’re struggling, or where we still need to improve.

But God sees more than who we are today.

He sees who we can become.

In fitness, we often walk into the gym as one person and, through time and consistency, become someone stronger.

You might not be able to lift that weight today.

You might not be able to run that distance today.

You might not be where you want to be today.

But that doesn’t mean your story is finished.

Abraham had to trust God before he saw the promise fulfilled.

Sometimes we also have to trust the process before we see the results.

So tonight, don’t let your current situation define your future.

Keep showing up.

Keep doing the work.

Keep trusting God.

And remember… you are not limited to who you are today. God may be preparing you for who you are becoming.

Tomorrow, Friday, August 28 we are canceling the 5 AM and 6 AM classes. All other classes will be open.

Semi-private family personal training with the Longmans! 💪❤️

Apparently, the girls lost a bet during a board game, and the parents decided their “prize” would be a family workout. 😂

Honestly, it turned out to be a pretty great way to pay up! There’s something special about watching kids experience the same fun and joy of fitness that we enjoy as adults.

Family workouts create memories, build healthy habits, and show kids that exercise doesn’t have to feel like a chore. It can be something you do together.

Who knew losing a board game could be so good for you? 😅

Mr. 1st Grade… The Smooth Operator with his new backpack 🎒 and Jordan’s 👟 🌟 😁 … he says, “Dad, take a picture so the people at the gym see my new school stuff 🤦 😂.

Bible Verse: Matthew 28:19–20

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Tonight’s verse comes from the very end of the book of Matthew. These are some of the last words Jesus spoke before returning to heaven.

He tells His followers to go.

Not to sit.
Not to wait.
Not to be comfortable.

He says, go and make disciples.

I think that’s a great reminder for all of us because faith was never meant to stay inside the walls of a church. It’s meant to be lived out every day.

The same is true in fitness.

The hour we spend in this gym is important, but it’s only a small part of the week.

The real challenge is what happens after we leave.

Do we continue making healthy choices?
Do we encourage the people around us?
Do we live with integrity at work and at home?

The habits we build here should carry into the rest of our lives.

Jesus also ends with an incredible promise:

‘I am with you always.’

That means when life is hard…
When you’re tired…
When you’re discouraged…
When you feel like you’re carrying a heavy load…

You’re not carrying it alone.

So tonight, don’t just train to become stronger in this room.

Train to become someone who makes a difference everywhere you go.

Carry your faith with you just like you carry your discipline.
