his week's Memory Verse, Galatians 5:16, "So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives."

When you trust Jesus with your life, God makes you a new person. You don't have to hold on to the old sin, guilt, and performance mentality of the past. You have a new identity in Christ. God cares about who you are - not how you perform.

Key Questions:

1. How has your life been different after trusting Jesus with it?
2. How could the Holy Spirit impact the way you compete?
3. How can you make sports a platform for your faith and not a pedestal?
4. In response to CORE 2, I believe God wants me to...

This week's Memory Verse, 1 Timothy 4:8, "Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come."

Train Spiritually

As the Holy Spirit leads you, He will begin to transform you into a new person with a new mindset, but change is a two-way street. In training, the coach sets the plan, but the athlete must execute it. To see a change in your performance as an athlete, you must put in the time and work. The same goes for spiritual training. It takes commitment and effort on your part.

This week's Memory Verse, Matthew 6:9-10, "Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."

Effective communication is essential to deepen a relationship with someone we love. We make it a priority to talk to our family, friends, teammates, and coaches. If we are to grow in our relationship with Jesus, we must make time to speak to Him as well.

1. What do you pray for? 

2. Who do you pray for? 

3. Do you tend to pray about what you want or about what God might want? 

Commit to spending more time asking God what His plan is for you.

Memory verse: Luke 1:37, "For the word of God will never fail."

In each sport, the coach has developed a training manual to help athletes build excellence. God does the same thing for believers. The Bible is like a playbook, guide, and training manual rolled into one. It contains the actual and inspired words from the heart and mind of God.

1. How often are you making time to read the Bible?
2. What are some practical things you can do to prioritize reading God's Word?

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 12:27, "All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it."

As competitors, we depend on the support of others to reach our goals.

Imagine a quarterback trying to pass the ball without the protection of the offensive line or a pitcher trying to throw strikes without the direction of a catcher.

It's the same for Christians. God designed people to be together.

Memory Verse: Romans 12:5, "We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other."

On a sports team, there are many different positions and roles. All athletes must use their talents and training to fulfill their unique role on the team. When everyone is giving 100%, the team succeeds.

ASK

1. Is it other believers?

2. Why is the motivation more important than the action

3. How might your gifts, strengths, interests, and talents be used to serve in your local church or FCA Huddle?

Identify a ministry within your local church and FCA Huddle where you can use your gifts, interests, and talents to serve. Then write out why you want to serve others.

My Church: __________________________
My FCA Huddle: __________________________

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 9:23, "I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings."

Athletes and coaches are some of the most influential people in today’s culture. God has used your talents and passions to create a platform where people watch what you do and hear what you say. You have a unique opportunity to impact others with God’s Word and see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through coaches and athletes.
