Winning the Prize--Sort of

Noted that yesterday was "Game Day."  Well, the girls went 1-1 on the day, came in third place in the tournament, and won the Bronze Medal for their efforts.  It was their first medal as basketball players.  You could tell it meant a lot to most of them.  You could tell it won't be the last medal for most of them, too.  You could see it in their eyes. Having tasted a hint of victory, they're not going to settle for defeat in the future.   That's the way it is with God, too. He gives us the taste of victory through Jesus.  In fact, the Apostle Paul tells us that we are MORE than victors through Christ Jesus who loves us. (See Romans 8)

Today's message at New Life is about our victory as followers of Jesus as well. The take home point is simple, "When God's people do things God's way; He gets the glory and we get the victory!"  We don't have to settle for bronze medals when we do things God's way.  Our victories may not look like what the world would call victory, but when we DO things God's way, we always win---not only here and now, but for eternity, too.
