We enjoyed a student led FCA at Temple Elementary! Students shared about the pumpkin parable: 🎃 Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." The yucky inside (pulp and seeds) is like sin. 🎃 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. The old man has passed away. Behold all things become new." Scoop out the sin and cleanses our heart. 🎃 Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven." God puts His light (candle) in us to shine for others to see Him. 🎃 Matthew 28: 19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…" #westgeorgiafca #fca247 #fcaelementary

A beautiful sight – Our Temple HS Character Coach, Shane Tarpley, praying over both the Bremen and Temple football teams. We love how FCA unifies our schools as they serve ONE King above all kings!

A Character Coach is an awesome volunteer opportunity with our FCA team! This volunteer adopts a team (the VR Softball team, for example) and consistently serves them with a focus on spiritual, character, and leadership development. This person/couple can serve the team via: • Attending games or practices • Providing snacks after practice • Leading a Bible study with the team • Helping to develop spiritual and character growth • Building relationships with the players If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, shoot us a DM and we'll get you trained and plugged in! #westgeorgiafca #fca247

#MondayMotivation Paul gives us three things to remember and put into practice in this verse: “Rejoice in hope” Let the hope that you have in God cause you to live with great joy and delight. Regardless of circumstance, we should always let the gospel of Jesus Christ bring us lasting joy. Let your hope be stronger than your fears. Let your hope cause you to rejoice. “Be patient in tribulation” Are you in a difficult season of life? Be patient. That is easier said than done, right? How do we be patient? By knowing and trusting that God is in control. His timing is perfect. He does not make mistakes. He has a perfect plan. He is for you. Trust Him. Be patient and rest in Him. “Be constant in prayer” Do you sometimes go through long stretches of your day without even considering prayer? Maybe you're only praying when life is tough? We have the ability to communicate with the God of the universe, and yet we fail to use that privilege. God wants to hear our hearts. He wants to spend time with us. He wants to empower us through our day. Take advantage of the huge privilege that we have. Be constant in prayer.

Don’t let ‘em fool ya, they love the fame 😉 but they ARE this dramatic every time 😏😂 #westgeorgiafca

#MondayMotivation In one of the most consoling passages of the Bible, we discover this confident claim: “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). The psalmist, King David, has learned that God’s presence with him overcomes even the very worst things he can face in life. The word translated “evil” in the original Hebrew language means “that which causes harm, misfortune, trouble, danger, destruction, or injury of any kind.” Even in the most challenging times, David says he would not fear any harm. We don’t have to be afraid because the Lord our Shepherd walks with us through the dark valleys of life. He is with us in times of loss, illness, injury, and grief. Even in the blackest seasons of life, we don’t have to fear harm because God is with us. In our darkest, most trying times, we must remember that God is near (Psalm 34:18). He is our Shepherd, and we are in His constant care. Throughout our lives and even in death, His goodness and love will never fail us (Psalm 23:6). Only when we are secure in the knowledge that our Good Shepherd is with us can we confidently say, “I will fear no evil.”

What does it look like to compete for more than just your sport? ✦ Giving our best effort, on and off the field. ✦ Building character that reflects Christ’s love. ✦ Inspiring others through our dedication and integrity. ✦ Pursuing a purpose that glorifies God. “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 Aim higher, play with passion, and run the race set before you with unwavering faith. You can compete for more than just victories – you can compete for a life of meaning and impact. #fca247 #competeformore #faithinsports #playwithpurpose #westgeorgiafca

🎓 Advice From a Graduate | Blake Bishop #WestGeorgiaFCA #FCA247

When we learn to live for the glory of God, it impacts everything. "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast, and when I run, I feel his pleasure.” - Eric Liddell, 1924 Olympian and missionary Scottish runner Eric Liddell’s story is a legend and is famously portrayed in the movie Chariots of Fire. Liddell grew up in a missionary family but also had the gift of running. His feet took him to the Olympics in 1924 before going to China as a missionary. Liddell’s story illustrates the powerful intersection of sports and faith, showing how God orchestrates this connection. Athletes are designed to be strong, fast, and competitive, often sacrificing much to win. Many fail to see their athletic abilities as gifts from God and a form of worship. Recognizing this can shift focus from performance to motivation, prompting the question: Do we play for an audience of one? #playwithpurpose #fca247 #Purpose
