From infancy we are taught to play various games from peekaboo, hide and seek, and pretend, to football and monopoly. Unfortunately, many “play church.” It’s time to stop playing church and start being the church! #NoMoreGames
This includes series notes, a video file, a jpeg and .psd file for media images and an image of our youth center.
Series Outline
1.In Real Life, Some things are Not Optional
i.This episode discusses the “select” button. In a world with so many options, there are some things that AREN’T an option. Salvation, the Word, Holiness, Tithes and Offering, Worship, are some of the things that are not optional.
2.No Respawning
i.The video gaming world introduced respawning several years ago, which is coming back to life after death. In real life there is no respawning. This message talks about what none of us want to confront: death and hell. Some of the content was borrowed from a message by Rev Ken Gurley.
3.No Cheating
i.A famous video game in the 80’s and 90’s was Contra, known for it’s level of difficulty as well as for the introduction of the Konami code. The Konami code was added by the developers for testing, who forgot to remove it from the main release. It introduced a new subculture in the gamer community, a subculture of cheaters. Many of us want to cheat in life because we think things are too hard, too costly, or unfair. But be careful – when you try to circumvent the process that God has in place for you there are great risks. Embrace the process and get the promise!
4.No Pausing & No Quitting
i.Video games have taught us that we can press pause whenever there is a distraction or we get tired. But pausing or standing still is really going backwards. We can’t afford to pause or quit in this race, we must run forward!
