New Year, same mission

CCA Athletics and Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale have a common calling to go and "make disciples."  Pastor Bob says we have been commissioned to partner with God in leading others to a life of faithfully following in the steps of the Savior Jesus Christ.

How do we do this in athletics?  Read, Pray, Serve.

The Scriptures provide all we need to equip others to walk with God.  As Pastor Bob described this weekend, the Bible shows us the way to live, the how to decide, and the what to think.  The Word of God is our playbook and coaching manual.

Prayer gives us access to the power of the Holy Spirit.  God's Spirit gives us the guidance, wisdom, conviction, and confidence we need to lead and disciple others.  Here's a shot from the post game prayer between CCA and Coral Springs Christian Academy.

Finally, we need to set an example for all believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.  We need to encourage regular interaction with God's family.  And, we need to help those who can't help themselves.  God wants to share His heavenly resources with those who can't help themselves.

2010 brings hope of new opportunity, but reminds us to remain steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58).  See you at the Finish!
