Express Yourself - Week Two

Week 2  Gameface! — Team Sports (begins Sunday 12 July)

From World Cup Stadiums to local five-aside pitches, sports show us peaks of human striving and endurance. But the greatest moments aren't just about winning — they are about respect, sacrifice, and teamwork. Individual glory is hollow and team sports remind us that we are intended to find our identity in community, bringing out the best in each other and honouring one another.

Scripture Focus: Ephesians 4: 25-32

  • Core Discussion Question: Paul tells us we are "members of one another." How does a "team sports" mentality change how we treat people we disagree with or view as opponents in daily life?  Why does striving with and against others shape our identity?
  • Book: The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek (Shifting from beating others to building long-term community)
  • Films: Chariots of Fire or The Boys in the Boat (Classic stories of human striving, sacrifice, and honouring a higher purpose)
