Winning In Life! (A Golf Sermon Monologue)
Joe Alain
Sermon Idea: A dramatic monologue illustrating what golf teaches us about the Christian life.
Dramatic Opening
Open with a "You Tube" video of Tiger Woods (or other golfer) hitting a drive.

As a Christian there is The Need for Patience. Patience is the fruit that comes from God's Spirit dwelling in us. We need patience in our dealings with one another. Colossians 4:2 says, "Be patient, bearing with one another in love." We need patience also in difficult times. Sometimes we go through trials. We go through dry and rough periods where it's tough to keep our focus.
