00:00 - THE HEAVY WEIGHT OF TIME

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the heavy weight of a clock running down. Watching Game 3 of the NBA Finals or any game for that matter puts time into a clear perspective. We have all had the experience of playing a game you want to win and you see the end of the game quickly approaching. The clock is running down, the outs are quickly piling up, there are only a few plays left. We have all felt that pressure before. Gibbs talks today about the weight of time. There is a sports controversy in the Gibbs house about whether the 150lb dumbbells in Aaron Donald's workout video from last week are real or props. Gibbs believes they are real and heavy just like the idea that time will eventually run out on each of us is in this mortal body is heavy to consider. How are you using the time? 2 Corinthians 6 says the time is NOW for salvation! Let's be active in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and stirring one another toward fellowship, worship, prayer, and generosity while there is still time to make plays on this broken earth. Would you rather be in the arena for a game or at a neighborhood watch party with your friends? At that party Coke or Pepsi? GO MAKE PLAYS! Remember we are "NOT JUST FANS"!

DON'T DRIFT FROM WHAT FUELED THE SUCCESS

Today on the show Gibbs talks with team Lancaster Thunder about the power of being singularly focused. Excellent sports moments are all around us in summer championship season. Mitch Marner scored a ridiculous playoff goal last week, Rai wins the PGA Championship, a heavy weight match up in the Western Conference Finals, Game 7 in a Stanley cup playoff all providing excellent viewing for the sports fan. The playoff atmosphere in Buffalo and Montreal has been LIT! In order for a person to reach the lofty heights of professional sports it requires a singular dedication and focus to their craft to get a shot at that success. Often once success is achieved it is easy for people to drift from the habits that laid the foundation for success. As followers of Jesus we cannot drift from the good news of Jesus. Jesus came preaching a message of repentance from sin. We cannot share a different message than one Jesus shared and call it good news. Let us not lose our singular focus on how a person can be at peace with the Triune God. Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom and righteousness, God help us to obey. Go make plays! Remember we are "NOT JUST FANS"!
