Happy Easter Friends!!

Let’s get down to business!

We have recently been looking at the whole thrust of what Christians in Sport is trying to support you guys to do – I hope you’d all be able to scream it back at me – Pray – Play – Say taken from Colossians 4v2-6.

Pray for friends who don’t yet know Jesus

Play in a way that honours Jesus so that the message fits the messenger

Say something of the good news of Jesus.

We then finished a series of helping you structure a good testimony.

Today we are starting a new series:

What is the Good News?

If we are asking you to pray and play and say because we have good news, then we need to know exactly what this good news is. If we want to affect the world of sport in which we are in then we need to know, to own and live that good news!

Sounds easy, yet you wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to stick to the task – we often drift away from understanding the good news, so how on earth are our friends going to grasp it!!

We need to remain focused!

I can remember playing footy for my club, around the age of 16. I used to be able to play well for 60 minutes and then the last 30 used to be a nightmare. I can remember my manager bellowing onto the pitch “Lanky, stay focused lad” or “Lanky, CONCENTRATE”

I used to go ‘walk abouts’ – I lost concentration and did what I thought was best not what the manager had asked or instructed me to do!!

So the same for us in our Christian lives. Unless we stay focused, unless we continue to concentrate on the job in hand we soon forget what that good news is. So right up until summer, we’re gonna concentrate on the good news, so that the good news keeps us motivated to make a difference for Jesus!

Hope you’re up for it!!

Make a difference this weekend dudes!!!
