The Game Of Life

This Sunday, we're beginning "The Game Of Life" (LIFEgame) sermon series where we’ll talk about us as Family.

We love them.

We loathe them.

Sometimes both at the same time! But we can’t just leave them. How do we mend old wounds, deal with difficult people, and break free from the baggage we carry? I will reveal wisdom and advice from the book of Proverbs in hope to help you overcome past hurts, navigate the future, and win in your “Family LIFE.”

LIFEgame enables the congregants to experience what their life could have been like without God's purposes. Though, some of you might still be stuck in a "life without God's purpose". Such experience enforces the need and urgency to have God's purposes for their lives. Ranging from a faithful few to many of God's faithful drift away from God's purposes for their lives.

Similar to the game, "The Game Of Life", here in the D.C. metro area, you'll find a city has already been created, complete with a university, banks, a post office, city hall, a police station, court house, prison, private companies, a shopping complex, country clubs, a cemetery and other institutions normally found in a town. Congregants may choose to get a job or start their own business to earn money, and they can opt to acquire properties like cars, houses and luxury items. Or they may choose to do something worse, rob banks, sit in jail, go to court and receive a sentence. Everyone makes choices whether they are good or bad.

Players (congregants) may decide to marry and have children, climb the ladder of success or even run for Gallaudet presidency. But in their pursuit of desirable circumstances, they may encounter obstacles such as unemployment, inflation, lawsuits, health problems and other negative life influences. The game deepens with new Christians struggling to continue their material lifestyle while learning to live by God's principles.

Before this Sunday, let's read the first three chapters of Proverbs. Take a look at the picture. Since many of us are "in driving mode", it may be time to exit the busy freeway and take off our sandals then enjoy the scenic route. You don't even need a Mapquest to find this location. Just take the next exit and enjoy God's favor!
