Super Bowl
What makes the super bowl so great?It’s the raw emotion of what happens on the field?
What happens on the field is real; nothing is fake on the field.
Half time adjustments are made by both teams in order to help their teams. Plays changed at the last minute to adjust to the cards that they defense have dealt them.
Isn’t football like life?
So often we have a plan, carefully laid out. Things change around us that affect that plan. We constantly readjust to meet the changing dynamics of our situations.
The game is played outside Church, at home, at work, driving to work, going to the store, what movies do you go see, what activities do you do, what do you do to help others. . .
This is real life, fast pace, full speed. All coaches will tell you that when you get to the playoffs the speed and intensity of the game ratchets up to a new level and counties to build all the way to the super bowl. Each week players coming at you harder and faster.
Life comes hard and fast at us, never slows or lets up.
Church should be our locker room pep talk every week, building us up, pumping us up to get ready to fight. Make our half time adjustments and come out swinging.
Let’s continue to be real with each other and let our guards down, let it all, and leave everything we got at the foot of Jesus.
Maybe we look at Church wrong, we look to come here and only be feed, the guys in the locker room need a swig of water and need a breather for sure, but it is a time of reflection, consultation, talking to your teammates about what is working, what is not. Getting ideas and advice about what changes should be made. We need to give our teammates a pat on the back and arm around the shoulder.
