The truth is that following Jesus is not about coasting - it's a race worth running with focus and purpose. Instead of being content with a faith that just “gets by,” God calls us to pursue Him with passion, grit, and a sense of urgency. The Christian life isn't about perfection; it's about progress.

Get In The Game Week One - What Are We Playing For? by Pastor Troy Powell
Christianity was never meant to be a spectator sport. Too many believers have settled into the stands—watching rather than playing. This message challenges us to move from the sidelines to the field through faithful attendance, active service, personal spiritual growth, generous giving, and protecting unity in the church.This is your call to stop watching and start playing. The Kingdom needs you in the game.Subscribe to stay rooted in God's Word: https://www.youtube.com/@MissionCityChurchSA
This isn't business as usual. It's time to rethink what it means to be the Church. Over the next three weeks, we're challenging every person at MPCC to go All-In, not just with your time, but with your heart, your purpose, and your life. Because God's not looking for spectators. He's calling us to move. We'll wrestle with questions like: * What kind of church are we becoming? * Where is your heart really planted? * And what part are you called to play? This series is bold. It's honest. And it's personal. If you've been waiting for the right time to take your next step… this is it.

Build habits that make a difference - Get in the Game wk. 1 by Faith Promise Church
Whether you're taking a class, doing a job, or raising a family, success begins with defining what it means to WIN. For Christians, “winning” isn't just going to church, being more religious, or even “becoming a better person.” It's making disciples of Jesus Christ, period. But what is a disciple? And how do we make them? In the New Testament, Jesus and the first Christians left us a discipleship game plan, and everyone - from brand-new believers to life-long Christians - has a part to play in it. Throughout this series, you'll discover new ways that you can win people for Jesus Christ, so join The Story every Sunday in August as we explore the X's and O's of making disciples.

The position of precinct chair is generally the party job closest to the actual action: meeting, motivating, and mobilizing the voters themselves, who happen to be your neighbors and friends! If you're a regular Progress Texas listener, you already know most of what you need to know to effectively fill this position. Many districts, in just about every corner of Texas, have vacancies in this vital grassroots role - leaving those voters without anyone to personally guide and inspire them. If you're fired up, and looking to step up and really make a difference, this is the perfect opportunity at a crucial political moment.Learn more about becoming a precinct chair for the Texas Democratic Party at https://www.traviscountydemocrats.org/precinctchair.Thanks for listening!

Jesus said he wanted us to make disciples. Inviting friends and acquaintances to come to church is a great way to get in the game. After all, Christianity is really helpful with major problems people are struggling with today. Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus commissioned the church to make disciples of all nations. This is the “game”. Are you in it or on the bench? Five Problems that Christianity Helps With 1. Plunging Birthrates (Gen 1:28; Prov 17:6; Mark 10:13-14) 2. Addiction (John 8:34-36; Rom 6:5-8; 1 Cor 10:13) 3. Choosing an Identity (Luke 9:23; John 10:27-28) 4. Loneliness (Isa 41:10; 1 John 1:3; 1 Cor 12:25-26) 5. Meaninglessness (John 3:16; Psalm 73:25-26; Eph 2:8-10) Harvard's Human Flourishing Program: “A considerable body of research has suggested that religious service attendance powerfully affects health and also affects other aspects of flourishing such as meaning in life, character, and close social relationships. Specifically, research has indicated that those who attend religious services at least weekly are about 30% less likely to die over a 10- to 20- year follow-up, are about 30% less likely to become depressed, and are over five times less likely to commit suicide …. Other evidence suggests that religious service attendance is associated with subsequently greater meaning in life, greater social connection and social support, and a 30% to 50% reduction in divorce.

I believe it is a great idea for us followers of Christ to make it a practice to be present where people gather with the express purpose of seeing what God might do.
