The Strong Challenge - Week 1 PLAY

This week we are encountering the discipline of "Play."

We discovered through the main teaching on Sunday that Play Pleases God...
because play pleases God...

• I am Helped to Live Better
• I am Reminded of God's Purpose (Genesis 2:9)
• I am Purged of Unhealthiness (Nehemiah 8:10)
• I am Put in my Place (Ecclesiastes 9:7; Genesis 2:2)

I am reminded of a couple of quotes that stood out to me this Sunday:

• "You won't be so desperate for acceptance if you're made strong by a full life outside of that one vocational arena. But if you think you don't matter outside your vocation, if you've neglected your relationship with your spouse and kids, if you have no pleasurable pursuits outside your work,then you can't bear to rock the boat at work because work is all you have. (You're) addicted to pleasing people because you've let your life become too small." - Gary Thomas Pure Pleasure
• "If we don't enjoy life properly, than we are setting ourselves up to indulge in life improperly." - Charlie Fehrman, Lead Pastor The Pointe Community Church

Stay tuned for our "play" challenges this week.
