FCA: The Relentless Devotional For CompetitorsSample

Triple Threat

Sarah Roberts

READY:

“Then He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.’” – Mark 16:15

SET:

In the game of basketball it is well known that the “triple threat” is the best offensive position to start in before making any move. You are harder to stop in a triple threat because the defense doesn’t know what you are going to do. You have the option to dribble, pass or shoot, making it difficult for your opponent to anticipate your next move.

In becoming a Christ follower, you may find yourself not sure of your next move and asking “where do I go from here?” or “where do I start?” I would recommend that you ready yourself in the Christ-followers triple threat position by serving others, loving others and reaching others with the news of Jesus Christ. Much like basketball, if we do the Christian triple threat relentlessly, we will be hard to contain.

So what does this look like? It’s serving your family by taking out the trash, doing the dishes or mowing the lawn. It’s loving and befriending those in your school that nobody else will talk to and that are picked on and made fun of. It’s telling your teammates about Jesus and how much He loves them. We all have the ability to change the world for Christ simply by serving, loving and telling those around us about the love we ourselves have received from Jesus. This is the ultimate triple threat.

GO:

1. How can you better serve your team?


2. In what ways can you show love to those at your school?


3. Write down one person you want to tell about Jesus and pray for the opportunity to share His salvation message with them.

WORKOUT:

OVERTIME:

Lord, You have saved me, and now I want to serve, love and tell others about You. Guide me, lead me and give me the boldness I need to make a difference in the name of Jesus. Amen.
