Hold NOTHING Back!
BECOMING the MVP
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Ephesians 2:8-9
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10
Most Valuable Player - out of the stands
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:22
Love
Learn
Live
Most Valuable Payer - give everything
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, He will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. 2 Corinthians 9:10-11a
Focus
Free time
Finances
Fun
Pay the price to be REAL!
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
Most Valuable Prayer - obeying the coach
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Philippians 2:3-4
Make others better
Make others bolder
Make wins bigger
Most Valuable Preyer - tenacious unity
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. Ephesians 4:1-3
SEEK truth - not rumors & lies
SPEAK truth - not opinions & preferences
LEAK truth - allow your ‘down times’ to defend you.

By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3
