Christian Gonzalez: Deuteronomy 6:5

Some people get saved when they are young, some people get saved when they are old, and some people get saved right in the middle. For me, blessed to know Christ at a very young age. I don't remember to many of the things I did before I met Christ, but I do remember I liked to play a lot of video games. Some video games were fun, and some scared me, which leads to how I got saved.

One night I saw my older sister Jasmine playing a zombie video game. It looked cool and I wanted to give it a try, so I asked my dad if I can play and he surprisingly said yes. My dad knew the video game would scare me, and he was right. After I played the video game, it was time for bed so I had to go to sleep. Not that brightest idea for me to play that game before bedtime but hey it looked so cool so I had to try it. As I laid there in bed, I couldn't go to sleep as I sat there thinking about zombies. It was totally not cool laying in bed while everybody is sleeping and there I was scared out of my mind. So I did what any other logical boy would do, ran into my parents room and placed myself right into their bed. My dad felt me get into bed and asked why I was sneaking into their bed, I told him that I was scared.

That is when he read me my favorite verse: "You should love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your might." Deuteronomy 6:5

He explained that if we love our God everything we have, he will protect us from anything and everything we fear. We both then got on our knees at the bedside and prayed to God to forgive me for all of my sins and that is when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. Since that day I have not been scared and my love for God and Christ has been as strong as its ever been.

A.J. Zanders: Football!

Okay, this sermon is about football. You are probably thinking, what football has to do with the bible or with life. A lot more then you think. So in football when the quarterback gets the ball the defenders try to tackle him, those defenders are like the devil and bad people trying to take you down, and make you lose. But when the quarterback throws the ball, he extends his arm almost like his is reaching for something. Sp when those defenders come at you have to extend your arm and reach to God. And another thing is that, if your at the park playing football and Peyton Manning shows up and ask's if he can play you say sure and thell him that your going to finish the play, but we never put him in we forget about him and leave him our of the game. This is what we do in life we say, ok God I'll pray in a second but we never do it, we say I'll finish the game, but you still don't make time for him, because he gave up his son for us, but we only give him 30 minutes, when Jesus gave his life. So when the time comes, God is in the game!
