Not Because of Me
In athletics hard work pays off. That is not the case in our faith journey. There is no amount of work that we can do to earns us more faith - it was all done through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.
Gracious Words
Our job here on earth is to point people to Christ. Our words and actions either draw people closer or push them farther away.
Be Humble at Heart
Don’t play or do anything else with pride and arrogance. If you are good at your sport, others will see it one way or another.
Communicate
When teams don’t talk, we see the outcome. Lack of communication will hurt a team’s record, teamwork and friendship. Lack of communication with God hurts us just as bad.
Why is Love so Important?
What is the most important skill on a football team? It probably depends on who you ask. What about the most important trait of a Christian? The answer is clear in Scripture, love.
Lasting Legacy
We all desire to be seen, heard and valued. The good news is God already chose us now we must build a legacy that points to Him.
Always With You
Our athletic skills are always with us; we don't leave them at the gym. The same goes for the Holy Spirit. He is always be with you if you trust God with your life.
He is Good
Sports are not safe. Injury or adversity lingers around competition and yet we choose to compete. Following God is not always safe but yet we choose to love and follow because He is good.
God's Got This
Do you approach God with boldness and faith or fear and doubt? If we approach God with faith in who we know God to be, then Scripture guarantees we will see Him work in our lives.
Compete for Something More
We all need a mindset that renews our outlook on athletics. One that helps us realize that we compete for something more than wins. God’s deeper purpose in all seasons of competition is to glorify Him.
Humility's Opponent
Pride is a big opponent in an athlete's life. God’s Word teaches that He is the One who puts things in motion in our lives so He should get the glory and honor. Then we should think of those who came before us.
Only One Counts
We live in a world of opinions that come at us from all aspects of our lives. God knows that the noise of those opinions can lead to confusion, anxiety and stress. We will be tempted to listen to each of them, but, only one opinion counts – God’s.
