Are you playing the position the Coach (God) has put you in?

2. Someone once described a football game as
twenty-two men on the field badly in need of rest
being watched by seventy-two thousand people in
the stands badly in need of exercise.

3. While football may be a spectator sport for most of us, Christianity
certainly should never be. We must get involved in the action. God is
the coach and he challenges us to get on the field and play the game.
We don’t have to be the MVP, we just need to play the position God
gives us. Everyone makes mistakes on the field. But God gives us the
“grace” to make mistakes, while not losing sight of our goal.

4. There will be opposition, there will be progress and
at other times we may lose ground. But we must
never give up striving for the Goal God has for us.

5. Philip. 3:12-17
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made
perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took
hold of me. [13] Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken
hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Need a Youth Camp/ Bible Study Series
on ”Running the Christian Race”?
The race as a metaphor for the Christian
life is used in several places in the Bible.
This series is a great follow up for new
Christians or to re-emphasize the basics of
our spiritual Journey in the Faith. This
Bible Study / Camp Curriculum has a
sports theme and is great for athletes as
well as a tie in to the youth Olympic
Games.
