STAY IN THE GAME 1 ST HALF

Our game is our mission: Help people find and follow Jesus Share His message of love and forgiveness with the world Jesus wants all of us to be in the game with him!

John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God”

Jesus doesn’t call his disciples to be spectators! When we get caught spectating we miss out on experiencing the transforming power of the gospel. Everyday Jesus calls us all into the game to be players on his team.

We get to know God more as we get in the game with Him, as we get on board with what he is doing all around us! It is not simply the knowledge of the gospel that changes us, but the outworking of it in our lives through the Holy Spirit. "Faith by itself, if it’s not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17

God sees us as good enough to be on His team He sees what we can offer, not what we lack Let’s step onto the court in faith and see what God does with us

STAY IN THE GAME 2 nd HALF

I’m in the game. Now what…?

Focus on God Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Col 3:2 If we focus on the earthly, we can get caught up in our insecurities.

We aren’t alone in the game. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matt. 28:19-20

THE GAME HAS ALREADY BEEN WON!

The game might have been won… …but it’s not over yet.

God gives us a purpose. But we have to stay in the game.

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. ~ Helen Keller

STAY IN THE GAME.
