How to win the Super Bowl!
Marvin D. Patterson
Acts 1:8
This evening the world will watch the Chicago Bears beat the Indianapolis Colts (I mean play the Indianapolis Colts). I shouldn't have made a prediction like that! How many Bears fans do we have here this morning? Great! How many Colts fans do we have here this morning? Wonderful! How many Jesus fans do we have here at the Grace Baptist Church this morning? Raise your hands! Oh that is great!
This morning I want to compare the playing of the Super Bowl, and all the fans that will be watching the Super Bowl to that of the Christian life. Now, there is a greater Super Bowl being played, even as I speak! King Jesus, and His team is on one side of the playing field, and Satan and all his demons are on the other side of the playing field! Which side are you going to be? I hope you are on Jesus' team, and you can be on His team before you leave this morning!
As I thought about how to win the Super Bowl, I thought about how the Christian life is compared to the sports world. We have a lot in common with the world of sports. The Bible even pictures the Christian life as a boxing match, a race, and a wrestling match.
Now how can you win at the Super Bowl of Life?
1-Tell everybody whose team you are on!
Acts 1:8 says
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
A true fan is not ashamed to stand up and be counted for his or her team! As many of you have already stated, a fan is not hesitant to say what team they are pulling for, unless it happens to be the New York Yankees! Just kidding! Are there any Yankee fans here today! I've tried my best to convert you into Brave fans, but all to no avail! You want to be a winner right, so you pull for the Yankees, instead of the Braves! Well friends, I really do not know ...
