“Let’s get ready for some football” rings in many a heart of women and men this time of the year. It’s been said that a football game is 22 men playing in desperate need of rest and 50,000 people watching in desperate need of exercise. This could be said of many followers of Jesus…lots of observers and a few participants. This series of messages is designed to help followers of Jesus to “get in the game,” the Kingdom game. Jesus came to establish a people who would be the answer to the prayer he taught us to pray, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
