Running the Race - Game Day

This sermon explores the concept of "playing to win" in both life and faith. Pastor Dave uses sports metaphors to emphasize that Christians should approach their spiritual journey with the intentionality and determination of athletes competing for a prize. He outlines three key principles: having a clear aim or goal, maintaining focus by eliminating distractions, and recognizing we're not alone as heaven cheers us on. The ultimate prize isn't earthly success but the "crown of righteousness" awaiting believers who prioritize God's kingdom. The message concludes by encouraging congregants to live with eternal perspective.
