Since there is a longer amount of Scripture today, I'll keep my comments brief.
As you read our passage today, remember that after Jesus fed the 5,000 up by the Sea of Galilee, he then returned to the same temple in Jerusalem where last time the Jewish authorities were wanting to kill him for healing the invalid on the Sabbath (5:16-18). Many in the crowd didn't know that Jesus was speaking to those intermingled with them who were still seeking his death.
1.- Read John 7:12-52 and share some of your thoughts that strike you from what you read.
Unlike Jesus, we need to study to learn the word, and I commend you for doing so. If you want to study further anything in today's passage, here's the link to David Guzik's commentary on John 7-

I would encourage you to bookmark the following link to all of his commentaries on the Bible- http://ift.tt/1JGo6TZ That site would be worth hundreds of dollars back in the day when I had to buy such books. So build your online library. Bookmark it! It may be free, but it is invaluable.
It's interesting to see how John weaves thoughts from one chapter into later chapters. For example, in ch.4 he spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well about living water. Now in 7:37-39, he brings up the subject of living water again. (There we also see the promise of the Holy Spirit given to all who would believe.) In chapter 5, Jesus spoke of being the one who raises the dead. Later we will see Him raising Lazarus from the dead.
(Speaking of the despised Samaritan woman, did you notice that she and the Samaritans of her town were really the examples to follow in John's gospel? The Jews were demanding miraculous works to believe. But the Samaritans simply believed Jesus' words. 4:39-42)
2.- "Who are those guys?" This time I'm talking about your wingmen. Contact them today and encourage them based on how they did on the scoreboard last week seen below.

Evaluation...it's been called the breakfast of champions. Any athlete that is seeking to improve evaluates his performance. The next day after a game, football teams will watch their game to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Some people hate to look at their weaknesses. But here, reviewing your game is only meant to help you, not shame you. So honestly evaluate your score from last week. If you have been scoring under 25 points, evaluate where you will seek to improve. Many of you are doing very well. Others of you would improve your scores greatly just by taking a moment to put your points up each day. Others just need to become unstoppable. (Tomorrow I will show you how you did in being unstoppable for the month of August. Many of you are in beast mode. You are truly unstoppable.) Congrats to so many of your who scored 25 or more points last week. And top scoring honors to Squad 5 and Fire Team 1 within Squad 5. Yet several other fire teams did very well also. Way to go!
may recall, your Squad leaders points are not included. Their focus is to help you improve just as a sports coach would. They are seeking to help you grow. All successful athletes have coaches. Be wise and ask them for their feedback. And certainly thank them for their suggestions for your greater success. You're wise for doing so. And when they call you, make sure you call them back promptly. That's the respectful and manly thing to do. Thanks!
