Market this week… June 12th 2010

Market Football

So the World Cup is fast approaching!

And I was thinking…

The Market stall is just like football really.

It’s a team game, individual confidence and skill is important but it’s how those things come together that counts

There are manager and coaching roles to get the details in place.

There are tactics learnt in training.* *There are different formations.

Sometimes we are more attacking and sometimes more defensive.

God is like owner (Father), manager (Jesus) and coach (HS)!

In theory God’s like the ultimate player-manager, he plays too.

Acton is our pitch and the church is our team!

But in some ways we are very different…

On our team, everyone is selected to play, no just any elite.

On our team the people we serve are not opposition, they are the prize worth fighting for.

On our team God is the fitness coach, calling us to be disciplined but not reliant on human strength.
