Don't Miss It - Pastor Micah

1 Corinthians 9

25 - all who compete in the games use strict training.  They do this so that they can win a prize - one that doesn't last.  But our prize is one that will last forever.

26 - So I run like someone who has a goal.  I fight like a boxer who is hitting something, not just the air.

27 - It is my own body I fight to make it do what I want.  I do this so that I won't miss getting the prize myself after telling others about it.  

 - What would the enemy love you to miss?

Point #1 - Sin

Mistakes/Miscues/Mischief/Misconduct

 - Sometimes you "miss it" when you feel you're "missing out".

James 1

14 - Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.

15 - These desires give birth to sinful actions.  And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

16 - So don't be mis-led, my dear brothers and sisters.

 - If you give in to temptation and desire, then sin is born.  If you give in to sin long enough, it overpowers you and costs you your life.

 - What are you allowing to grow?

Point #2 - Second Guessing
