It is fun to see my children get excited and pull for certain athletes during the Olympics. I am personally amazed at the dedication of each athlete, and I love hearing the back stories of athletes. One characteristic of each athlete is dedication. They each are dedicated to their training because they each have a hunger to win.
Paul speaks of the same dedication in the Christian faith. In 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”
August 5th we are beginning a new sermon series entitled “Going for the Gold.” This series will set the course for the next year, remind us of our high calling, and inspire us to live for Jesus like never before. I am anxious to begin this journey Sunday with each of you.
