Many have harbored a desire to be a professional athlete on the biggest stage, but most people will not make it to the top. As a follower of Jesus, we can actually have an impact on the court, and make a difference. This week we will show the importance that we can't be casual fans on the side, but the necessity of being an active player in sharing the Gospel as a united community.

Every sports team has a fan base that wants to represent their favorite team. Some will casually wear hats, and others may dedicate a whole room to team memorabilia. We are also called to represent Jesus as ambassadors of the kingdom. This week we will be discussing how we can better represent Jesus to the world, and some of the challenges that we will need to overcome.

Blessed are those who are persecuted…to be honest many of us probably cringe at that thought because we don't want to add trouble to our lives. But to be faithful may require going against the grain. This Sabbath we'll learn how to add some tools to help us when times get tough and our faith needs to be strengthened.
