3. Sports Chaplain We all have preconceived ideas
WHAT WE ARE - We all have preconceived idea’s – especially about sport and chaplaincy and put them both together and we have some big hurdles to get over. I don’t know what you think when someone says chaplain. It’s nothing to do with a chapel the word basically means an EXPRESSION of GODS LOVE and Compassion.
The role of a chaplain is to be servant hearted, pastorally proactive and spiritually reactive. Serving all in the community of sport.

What do you see?
We have a – prophetic window of opportunity –
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
Child in need – spiritually, ethically and morally we have a responsibility to meet that need – AND we meet that need because we see it and are moved with COMPASSION and rightly so!
What do you see?! I surmise you an athlete – fit, healthy and wealthy –
BUT if we look at a community no different to anyone else are we any different?
In 1Samuel16:7 “…For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart”.
As Gods people we are called to look with his eyes of compassion – A moment of revelation will change our perspective forever! AND then only when we see with Gods eyes are we compelled to respond differently!
3. What do I see?…This is not to denigrate sport but I see an individual, a community who are spiritually malnutrition, thirsty for truth and destined for???
Question: Are we the same as the world or are we to be culturally different and do we see with Gods eyes?
One moment of revelation will move us to respond in a totally different way.
How we see - will dramatically impact and change our response to a situation, which will determine our our acts of kindness and compassion. A moment of seeing beyond the natural can be all we need to take us into a place of peace, hope and victory.

11. Missio Dei BE INTENTIONAL Join the journey We are all responsible
CHURCH –
Missio Dei God sent his son, the Son sent the Spirit and the Spirit SEND US!
I believe Jesus asked us to GO!.
Let me give you some food for thought
Young people and sport – if you ask them to choose between God and sport and they choose sport you’ve inexplicitly said God has rejected them. When they have question and vulnerable (The age girls 12/13 & boys 14/15 stop playing sport) the most challenging times in their adolescent life - do you think there going to come running back to a church that rejected them?
Some interesting pointers – when a club wins pregnancy rates go up
When a club looses – domestic violence goes up
Sport impacts our community and if we can impact our sports community - we can impact wider community and nation.
BE INTENSIONAL!!
Who are in these communities? Fatherless, orphans, widows and the broken are in this community called sport and we have a responsibility to GO and meet it them.

14. ”Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven” -
Matthew 5:14-16 (MSG)
