“The Secret to Winning”

I Corinthians 9:24-27 “You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athlete’s race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades.”

I Corinthians 9:24-27 “You’re after one that’s gold eternally. I don’t know a out you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No slopping living for me! I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.”
