Power of Being "CENTER"

Key Scripture:  "There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears."  Philippians 1:6, The Message
Power Point:
Sometimes things just need to be shared. This is a conversation between my daughter-in-law, Kim and my two grandsons:
Kim and the two boys, JD who is nine and Ben, who is 7 were talking about how everyone is a sinner and they should give grace to everyone. 
Ben:  "Everyone is a sinner?
Kim: "Yes, everyone is a sinner."
Ben:  "Seriously?  Everyone is a sinner?"
Kim:  Yes we are all sinners."
JD:  Except Jesus.  He was the only one who was not a sinner."
Ben:  So everyone snaps the ball but Him?"


You have to understand that Ben and JD are very active on their football teams.  Ben thought they were saying the word "CENTER". Pretty funny right?
But as always there is a truth hidden here somewhere.
As I understand it (in my VERY limited knowledge of football) the Quarterback calls the plays and the Center then "snaps" the ball to him so that He can run for the goal. Once he "snaps" the ball, the center then begins blocking the opposing team so that the Quarterback can make it across the goal line. That's when everyone gets excited and starts jumping up and down and pumping their fists.
Whether you are a "sinner" or a "center", it's your job to follow the play called by the One who knows how to make the goal. You hand Him whatever He needs to make that goal happen and then you are on offense to be sure that what He wants in your life happens.
You take His plays and work them out in your life. That's when everyone will be excited and start jumping up and down and pumping their fists.

You are on your way to a flourishing finish. Snap it UP!
