Strength through sacrifice—for self, for others, and for God.

What that looks like...

Inward Sacrifice (Personal Strength) – Be disciplined and put off personal lifestyle choices that inhibit growth (e.g. excessive sleep, video games, etc.). Take on habits that challenge the self to reach new heights (e.g. mile run, pacer test, etc.). “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.” Prov. 10:4, NIV
Outward Sacrifice (Team Strength) -Follow Jesus’ example by laying down our lives for others and consider their interests first. This produces a stronger and more unified team. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13, ESV
Upward Sacrifice (God’s Strength) – When we offer our very lives to God to be used by Him for His honor (following Jesus’ example), we find a strength that is unmatched. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.” Rom. 12:1, NIV
