A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun — but every round is really asking one thing: does this habit bring glory to God… or slide into obsession? Scripture uses sports to picture faith — discipline, rules, endurance, eyes on the prize. Train hard — but never let the scoreboard replace the Savior.
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it." — 1 Corinthians 9:24 · "Let us run… looking to Jesus." — Hebrews 12:1–2
Great game — but here's the truth behind it: sports can build discipline and teamwork that picture the Christian race — but obsession hijacks worship, money, and character. The real win is playing with purpose while looking to Jesus, not only the scoreboard.
How to Play — "Glory or Obsession?"
🎯 The goal: Two teams compete across 4 rounds teaching one truth: sports are a gift that can picture faith — discipline, rules, effort, endurance — but when time, money, worship, and mood orbit the game, obsession has replaced glory.
