Video of the Day: Scene from the 2006 film “We Are Marshall”
Bible Verse of the Day:
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up, Deuteronomy 6:4-7.
Biblical Connection:
On November 14th, 1970, Southern Airways Flight 932 crashed on approach to the Tri-State Airport in Kenova, West Virginia. This chartered flight killed 75 people, 37 of whom were players on the Thundering Herd Football team. Other casualties included coaches, scouts and staff from Marshall University. We Are Marshall follows the rebuilding of this team and restoring its program. Matthew McConaughey plays Coach Jack Lengyel who gives the pre-game speech before the final home game of the season. As this newly formed team remembers 6 of their former teammates, Coach Lengyel urges players to lay their hearts and soul on the line. This call to action culminates with “How you play today is how you will be remembered.”
From a spiritual perspective on the second Sunday of 2025, this is why Christians come to church: celebrating the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Unfortunately, to many of us, including me, don’t possess a sense of urgency to worship God like a football team eager to end their season with a victory. Perhaps. it’s time to re-evaluate where we stand as a follower of Jesus. Ask yourself, “am I pouring out my heart and soul daily? Is the love of Jesus, down in my heart, overflowing into my daily conversations and interactions with others?” If the answer is no, start every day like it’s your last. Pray to the Lord that How you live today is how you will be remembered by others!
Closing Song:
Use today’s church experience as a springboard to develop the mindset worshipping Jesus 7 days a week.
