Verse of the Week “25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a prize that will not last, but we do it to get a prize that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not ﬁght like a boxer beating the air. - 1 Corinthians 9 It’s Time for Football !

And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit’” (Acts 2:38). Pat Summerall spent 50 years with the national Football League. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1952 and played with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants until 1961. After his retirement from the game, he joined CBS as a broadcaster, and in 1993 switched to Fox. During his CBS years he and a fellow broadcaster partied hard off the ﬁeld. “We raised Cain. I was the ﬁrst guy at the bar and the last to leave.” Summerall was told that if he kept on drinking he was going to die. After checking himself into the Betty Ford Clinic, his counselor urged him to seek a better life through faith. At age 66, Pat Summerall was baptized. In USA Today he told a reporter that when the minister “leaned me back in the water, I never felt so helpless.” Summerall testiﬁed, “I knew I just became a Christian. I can’t tell you how great life has been since then.” Baptism is a faith response to the gospel of Christ. In baptism we are indeed helpless. We are sinners in the hands of a merciful God. Every penitent, baptized believer in the whole, wide world is promised the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. There is no work involved. We are helpless...But God will help us! “What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!” SOURCE: Victor Knowles, Peace on Earth Ministries, Joplin, Mo. Citation: USA Today, January 30, 2002. WHAT IS THE GOAL OF PLAYING FOOTBALL? Well, of course, we would say winning. But there is a clearer point than winning, it is scoring points. We might score 6 points in a touchdown, three points in a ﬁeld goal, two points in a safety, or one point in a point after the touch down. What if I told you of a man that played footbal 23 years - 15 years in the NFL, 4 years in college, and 4 years in high school and he never scored a touchdown or made a point? This man would have to be a failure, wouldn’t he? Well, let’s look at this? This man never made a touch down, but he played in 245 games in his career. Why start a man that can’t score? He made 1,032 tackles, pretty impressive? He blocked 86 passes. He made 19 fumble recoveries, but still no touch downs? He made 3 interceptions, but no touchdowns? While in a football game everything centers on the football and the goal line, but there is more to the game than that. THE MAN’S NAME IS ED “TOO TALL” JONES! Ed “Too Tall” Jones is in the Football Hall of Fame, the reason he never made a touch down was his position --Ed was an All Pro Defensive End, he played 15 years for the Dallas Cowboys. Ed was a team player. He never played to make touchdowns. He played to help his team win. Not everyone that plays football is there to make touchdowns.
