Game Day and Judgment Day
Thanking God for Sports
Description
We can exploit sports for our own ambition and fame. We can worship our sports, our heroes, and even ourselves. Because of our sin, we often waste the gift of sports.
Or, we can enjoy sports for the glory of God. By modeling humility and joy both on and off the field, we capture an opportunity to glorify God.
In this one-hour message, C.J. Mahaney reminds us that the way we play, coach, watch, or talk sports matters to God. Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, a parent, or simply a fan, C.J. appeals to you: Don’t waste your sports!
