PREACHING CONTEST (CATARMAN DISTRICT).pdf

Preaching Ideas

1. HAPPY
SABBATH!

2. BOUND BY FRIENDSHIP,
UNITED IN CHRIST
THROUGH SPORTS AND
MUSIC

3. 1. We are One Body in Christ
Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians
12:12-14 that the body of Christ
is made of many parts.

4. 2. Sports and Music Teach
Us Spiritual Truths

5. A. In 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul says, "I have
fought the good fight, I have finished
the race, I have kept the faith." He
uses imagery to describe the
Christian life - because like athletes,
we train, we sacrifice, we push
through obstacles.

6. B. Music stirs the soul. In Acts 16,
when Paul and Silas were in prison,
they sang hymns - and the earth
shook with power.

7. As we run, sing, dance, and play - always
remember, you do it not for the applause,
but for the glory of God. Let our gis point
to the Giver. Let our unity reflect the love
of Christ.

8. Whether on the field or on the
stage, whether through a song
or a prayer, let our hearts beat
together as one body, one
family, one Church - united in
Christ.

9. Happy
Sabbath!
