Peppers - 1915: Competitive Christianity Part 1 (DVD)
Wes PeppersMany people are extremely competitive. However, does our competitiveness contradict what the Bible teaches? Wes Peppers was involved with football in high school and part of his college career. He knows what it feels like to feel the pressure to compete and the satisfaction that winning a competition entails. But what are the sacrifices and shortcomings of competitiveness? Is winning the competition really all that it seems to be? Some people put all of their faith and all of their hopes in earthly things, competing for the job promotion, bigger house, or to reach the next step on the social status ladder. What does God have to say about this?
Earthly things will disappoint. Though we may be tempted by tangible things, the way in which people elevate and take pride in their sports and their careers is not birthed from heaven. Peppers discusses how popular sports are patriotic and bring people together, but putting priority on sports over Christ is dangerous. Hear about how we are to seek God first, and to set our minds above. Learn about some of the troubling effects of sports on our relationships with others and how it can even hinder our relationship with Christ.
