Title : Sports Sunday
"No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer."
2 Timothy 2:4
Paul had a way of speaking to a person that challenges them both spiritually and intellectually. In this instance, he used the example of a soldier to
represent a Christian's walk with Christ on this earth; How should one live their lives to please God. A soldier is a person that strictly follows the instructions
of his commanding officer without questioning the reasons for that command. He just does it, as his sole purpose in his unit is to please his commanding officer.
As Christians, we are called to be soldiers of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3). Not the kind that takes up arms to attack an enemy, but as an obedient soldier that wants nothing
more than to obey Christ's commands like "loving one another, as I have loved you" (John 13:34) and "making disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19); Knowing that by doing
this, it will please the Heavenly Father, as it is said:
"Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them."
John 14:21
The youth fellowship instead of playing outdoor sports for Sports Sunday conducted an indoor object lesson to "test" the focus of the youth members. The first task is
trying to keep a tissue paper from falling to the ground by blowing it against a vertical wall. All group members have to work together to contribute in the blowing. The next task is to answer as many
as many tricky questions as possible in the quickest time. The main emphasis of these games was to showcase the importance of focusing on Christ in our everyday lives and not be distracted by
"civilian affairs" or things that will hinder our walk in Christ and growth in our faith.
REMEMBER: FOCUS
Focus on Christ and his finished work on the cross, focus on His love for us that led Him to die on the cross for our sins and focus
on pleasing Him by living a life worthy of our calling (Ephesians 4:1).
