Remember Jesus Christ

2 Timothy 2:8-13

October 9, 2016 • Dr. Gary Brandenburg

In a recent meeting, one of our pastors shared the story of Matt Emmons, an Olympic athlete who competes in the three position shooting event. The Olympics has been the setting for so many inspiring stories over the years. We have seen the thrill of victory but we have also witnessed the agony of defeat. One of the most heartbreaking moments of the 2004 Athens Olympics happened away from the cameras in a sport that few people watch. Emmons was practically assured of winning the gold medal. He was ahead of all competitors and just needed to hit the target somewhere near the bullseye. He took aim and fired. Bullseye! But he not only lost the gold, he didn't even medal. He shot the wrong target.
