The Olympic spirit of the son of God

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker reflects on the idea of the Olympic spirit and how it relates to the life of a child of God. They discuss the dedication and sacrifice required to achieve success as an athlete, and how the same determination is needed in the long-term marathon of life as a Christian. The speaker encourages listeners to identify and remove anything that may prevent them from moving forward in their faith, with the ultimate goal of fixing their eyes on Jesus. They emphasize the importance of running with purpose and direction in order to obtain an incorruptible prize.

In Philippians 3:12-14, Paul encourages us to run the race of life with a sense of purpose and direction, and to strive towards an incorruptible prize - the supreme call of God in Christ Jesus. He emphasizes the importance of humility, forgetting what is behind us, and extending ourselves towards what is ahead. Our goal is found in what Jesus has for us, and we should wake up each day with the expectation of getting closer to that prize. Even when we fall or face frustration, we should keep our eyes on Jesus and continue towards the goal he has established for us.

The speaker thanks God for his word and asks for his help in understanding its value in different situations. They pray for God to bless and protect the listeners as they go home and for them to wake up with renewed strength and courage. The prayer ends in Jesus' name.

God is here in our midst, my brothers. I believe in the promises of God. This is the message that I was preaching on Sunday, that is, when God gives a promise, those are the promises that fill us up and give us energy to move forward. God does not fail his promise and that promise gives us a sense of hope for us to keep going, fighting. In all that we can face that promise of the Lord, they not only give us strength, they encourage us, but they also give us a sense of teaching, they open our minds so that we can understand the way in which God is directing each one of us. our steps.

And today, my brothers, I would like, in one way or another, to continue in connection with that message that I was sharing on Sunday. I don't know how many of you follow sports like me, but we are about to start the Olympics. How many of you like the Olympics? Or do they watch the Olympics? They like sports, the summer Olympics come every 4 years and I really love that, it's something that I enjoy, from the opening ceremony, all the events, to the closing ceremony. It is something that all the eyes of the world focus on there. It is the Olympic spirit as they say many times in the news.
