Game
Changer Title
We
all want to win, but sometimes the game gets away from us. When you
find yourself down in the 4th
quarter, you need a game changer.
A
game changer is a play that changes the momentum and ultimately the
outcome of the game.
In
the year 2019, I think we could use a game changer.
Serving
is a Game Changer
Last
we told you that Service is a game changer. We told you about well
known people and businesses who achieved world changing success
through the concept of serving others. This game changing idea is an
idea straight from God’s Word.
Let
me give you examples of real life people who followed the game
changing plan we are going to discuss today.
Albert
Einstein
* He didn’t speak until he was 4 years old. * He was considered developmentally delayed. * He failed entrance exams at the age of 16 to enter a technical school. * After eventually graduating college he worked as an insurance salesman* He failed at that job as well… but we are all thankful that Albert Einstein never gave up. He changed the world as a theoretical physicist.
Henry
Ford
* His first business went bankrupt. * His second business had to file for bankruptcy. * Henry Ford persevered and his third company was and is still called Ford Motor Company.
JK
Rowling
* She was a single mother living on welfare, trying desperately to support her daughter. * She bounced around from job to job, but during all that bouncing she wrote a book over the course of 7 years. * All 12 major publishers rejected her book, but JK Rowling didn’t give up. * She found a small publishing company that was willing to publish “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”
Sylvester
Stallone
* At one point, he was homeless for three weeks, living in the New Jersey Port Authority bus station. * He was rejected by talent scouts over 1,500 times. * At another time he was so broke that while writing a script, his electricity was turned off and he was forced to sell his dog for $25 just to turn the lights back on. * Those lights turned back on and Sylvester Stallone finished the script for “Rocky.”
The
Beatles
* On New Year’s Eve, in 1961, this fledgling group of musicians drove in a snowstorm to audition at Decca Recording Studios, they were told “guitar groups were on their way out.” * They didn’t listen, and 5 months later they met a record producer named George Martine and together they made Rock & Roll History.
Walt
Disney
He
was fired from his Kansas City Star newspaper job. His editor said,
he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” He then created a
film studio named Laugh-O-Gram and it quickly failed. He struggled
for 5 more years until Walt Disney gave the world Mickey Mouse.
There
are countless examples I could give you… the truth is that EVERYONE
