In a Nutshell: Vince Lombardi said, “If Jesus were alive He would be at the Super Bowl.” Yeah, not convinced yet. Paul told Timothy, “ Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. There is certainly valuable lessons and illustrations that can come from being involved in sports.
Ice Breaker: Who is your favorite Christian athlete? What makes him/her your favorite? Who is your least favorite? Why?
