How to Beat a Rigged Game

From A to Z

So much of our world is grounded in competition – who gets the most votes, has the most money, the best looking family, best grades and so on. No wonder they call it a rat race. It’s nothing new – we’ve been fighting to be on top for thousands of years. What sets Jesus apart is not that he’s strong enough to win – it’s that he refuses to play the game at all. What does that mean for us today?

From Series: "From A to Z"

It's easy for us to compartmentalize faith. It's something we do on Sundays. Or in the morning. Or before a meal. But during this series, we're celebrating the whole story of God, how Jesus shows us who God is and what that means for us every day.

Too often, we think faith is about winning – getting our way in the culture or in our homes. But during Lent, we’ll trace the human journey through the Old Testament and see that getting what we want never works out like we hope. We’ll see how Jesus enters into our failure and becomes a loser just like us. Somehow, his failure is good news for us.

It turns out God is for losers, which is good news for all us failures.
