Awana Grand Prix

Judgment

How are the winners for speed determined today?

Timer - independent, not favoring one over the other

Impartial!

The Gospel

Briefly explain sin, penalty, asking for forgiveness

Open to ANYone!

Very impartial

Romans 10:13 NASB95

for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Any body here - some already have called on the name of the LORD

But why call on Him?

The Bible tells us that Jesus is the only one who can save us

And Jesus is the judge

John 12:48 NASB95

“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

Grand Prix - the timer is the judge (they actually make a timer called the judge)

No reason to argue with the timer

Eternal life - Jesus is the judge

No reason to argue with him

BUT…ANYone who asks Jesus to be Savior - He says yes

? Instead of trophies, believers get crowns

I may not get a prize today - I don’t think my car was fast enough

But I asked Jesus to be my Savior, 23 years ago

He said YES

And He will keep His Word!

Kids - you have a great opportunity to hear God’s Word in the Bible

Listen to Jesus - trust him

Adults here - you have the same opportunity

And when you get saved, if you already have…

You get to keep listening to Jesus

Jesus will say, to those who faithfully served Him

Matthew 25:21 NASB95

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

PRAYER

Now…let’s see what our timer judge has to say about the races today!
