Message
In football, players train hard, compete fiercely, and aim to prove themselves for a place in their team. It is only those that are found worthy that are chosen and given the jersey of the team. To be in Jesus’ team demands genuine salvation, commitment, and obedience to Jesus’ teachings. Like football players who show dedication and skill, followers of Jesus must be ready to serve and show their character of love and humility.
Being chosen for Jesus’ team goes beyond personal merit; it is a call to present His message and share His love. It is a privilege to be selected with the responsibility to spread His message of salvation to sinners.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
