Oh Lord, we thank you so much for this opportunity for us to be back together on Sunday mornings and to kick off our Sunday school time. Thank you that we could be together as the family of God, as the bride of Christ, and those that are called. We ask that you would help us to see Christ lifted up, help us to see the importance of Christ crucified, and we pray that your spirit would open up our eyes and hearts this morning. In Christ's name we pray.
Amen. Well, Vince Lombardi was a Hall of Fame football coach. An NFL executive and the head coach of the Green Bay Packers during the 1960s, they won 3 straight NFL championships, 5 championships in a seven-year stretch. And the Vince Lombardi Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Super Bowl every year.
At the start of the training camp in 1961. Vince Lombardi walked into the locker room of the Green Bay Packers and said to his team, what would become one of the most iconic quotes in sports history, Gentlemen, this is a football. Right? Kids, is this a football?
You can say it out loud. Is this a football? Yes, it is. You, you're exactly right....
