GAME TIME

After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God: ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!’—Mark 1:14-15

Jesus begins His ministry with this stunning announcement: There’s a new Kingdom and a new King. This is a Kingdom that functions in a vastly different way than all other kingdoms. And this is good news!

Over the next three years, Jesus’ singular focus was to explain life in this Kingdom through His teachings and enact it through His miracles, compassion, and forgiveness of sins. In light of this announcement, Jesus is telling everyone to repent, to rethink everything, then believe and arrange their lives and actions around this new reality.

Assuming that sport has a place in God’s Kingdom when Jesus returns to fully institute His Kingship, the questions below can help us rethink what sports should look like with a distinctly Christian worldview.

Take some time to discuss as a group.

TALK ABOUT IT

1. If Jesus became the governing authority over our sports programs, what things would He judge as perfectly acceptable to continue doing as we already are?

2. What would Jesus say are acceptable end results to strive for? How could we rethink our approach toward achieving those ends?

3. What things would Jesus say we need to completely abolish from programs because they do not line up with His values and have no future in His Kingdom?

If we are going to submit to Jesus in the environment of sport, we must rethink our approach to the central organizing principle of sport—competition. The two different approaches to competition can be summed up by these two words:

With and Against. When you think of competing, do you think about doing it with the other individual or team, or are you doing it against them?

This suggested warning label for competition was given in the third video:

WARNING: COMPETITION AS AN EXERCISE IN SELF-INTEREST CAN LEAD TO SELFISHNESS, JEALOUSY, PERSONAL HARM IN ALL THREE DIMENSIONS (BODY, MIND, SPIRIT), RELATIONAL DAMAGE, AND EVEN IDOLATRY. HANDLE WITH CARE!

TALK ABOUT IT

1. Where have you seen and experienced one or more of the negative impacts of competition listed in the “warning label”?

2. When you compete “with” someone what would that look like, sound like, and feel like?

3. When you compete “against” someone, what does that look like, sound like, or and feel like?

God’s grace is essential if we want to reimagine sports and begin coaching in this newfound way. God’s grace is His activity in your life to accomplish what you cannot accomplish on your own.

You will absolutely need God’s grace and power in your life to reimagine and move along the transformative journey of rethinking and reforming in the pressurized world of sport. The good news is that He offers His grace freely to us—His sacrifice has already been made on the cross. All we need to do is accept His gift to embark on this journey of faith.

As a group, read the following verses out loud:

“For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.”—Ephesians 2:8-9

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.”—2 Peter 3:18

“Rather, train yourself in godliness.”—1 Timothy 4:7

Although grace is the free gift God gives us as His followers, God wants us to fully participate and cooperate with this transformative process. It is our job to faithfully train ourselves on how to grow in grace. This type of training entails the instituting of practices that put us in a position to receive God’s grace.
