Chasing 27 - Ready Break

Chasing 27 - Ready Break!


EXCERPT:  “No football team has ever won a Super Bowl on the strength of the huddle. It’s what happens after the ‘ready, break’ that brings the victory. Saul and all his men assembled and went into battle. Like Israel’s army, you cannot win a war until you leave the assembly and engage the battle. It’s not enough to assemble, you have to go to war.” Chasing Daylight pg.247

REFLECTION:
As Christians we have done an exceptional job at perfecting the “huddle”. It happens every Sunday across the world at what we call “church”.
Unfortunately many people have made the huddle the end game and so we find many Christians quite content to simply show up on a Sunday week after week, month after month and eventually year after year without ever truly taking the heart of Christ to a lost, hopeless, dying world.

Read about Jesus in the New Testament and you will clearly see that he valued the huddle, the gathering with his disciples, fellowship with the Father, but it never ended there, it overflowed into the streets with people being healed miraculously and lives being transformed where ever he went. He sent his disciples out into the world to proclaim the good news and in the book of Matthew commissioned us to do the same. Review your life for a second and if you find areas that have been in the huddle for way to long... now is the time for us to get back in the game!  

Ready Break!
