Summary: Often when our extended family gets together, there is a sports game. We seem to have just as much fun cheering for our favorite team from the couch as we do from the stadium. After a touchdown, or a successful sprint, a final inning, or the game-winning goal, there are wild celebrations. Sports victories are great, but there is a greater team and greater victory yet.As followers of Jesus, we're on a team too. It's called the Body of Christ. And, in God's strength, we can be victorious. In Paul's Letter to the Philippians he says "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." As part of God's team, we are winners, but not because of what we do, not by our own strength. We are winners, we are successful, because of God's forgiveness, God's love, and God's grace.In what ways can we celebrate what God has done in our lives to make us winners? One of the main ways, I think, is to share our faith. When we tell others what God has done in our lives, we are giving Him credit and honor. By sharing our stories, and reaching out to others, we are celebrating that it is He who gives us strength. Today, let's give God the glory and be an active participant on His team by telling another of His love.
