Father’s Day! Athletes and Disciples is my title today as I preach from I Corinthians 9:24-27. I will strongly encourage all hearers to grow in their discipline, denial, and desire to please God in all things. I have awakened early with good energy. I am ready for this delightful day of serving God through the church.
I Cor 9:24-27
"Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified."
Guide my thoughts, words, actions, demeanor, interactions and direction with your precious Holy Spirit as I minister among your people in the faith community called Wesley.
