Detonate claims onto Luke 1:37 "For nothing is impossible with God.". I believe God has been moving in our midst, and to know that He is here with us, we declare Him Lord over our ministry:)  The show to me was a reminder of how the world thinks when it faces an obstacle that seems to too difficult to overcome, be it mentally or physically. It also reminded me that things will not work out as planned, as how we want it to go. However, the crux of the show that really encouraged me was that although things were not going smooth for the coach, he did not turn to worldly ways but instead seek after God in whom he trusted in. God also spoke to him through using another person who felt compelled to tell him that the "doors were still open". Although God may not have spoken to him personally, I think he must have felt really reassured when he had heard that. Friends play an important role as well as seen by the assistant coach when he was sitting on the fence and unsure of giving his full support to the coach. Friends can either build you up or shatter your hopes through their words and actions. It was good that he finally gave his support after seeing the change in the program made by the coach. The coach decided to change the perspective to one that honoured God no matter what the circumstance and used his current position to reach out to the students as well. Although the students were not receptive at first, I'm sure that the seed was planted when the coach started the change. Moreover, the prayer for the students in the morning everyday while passing by the lockers by another person also played a part in the later scene of the revival in their school. David Childers was not confident of himself as he used to play soccer and was new to American Football. However, his Dad encouraged him not to be afraid to try nor afraid of failure. To me, this is true because we face many decisions in life, but we do not necessarily make the right ones all the time. Hence, they result in failure but we learn from these experiences and become a better person, wiser. God used him at the end to complete the impossible win over the Giants by scoring a 50+ foot field goal. While honouring God is one thing, we must honour our parents as well as it is a commandment and although it may not seem like they care for us, they actually do, alot and since they are experienced, they will want the best for us. However, in the spur of the moment, we sometimes say things that we do not mean and hurt their feelings. This show serves as a reminder that we must seek forgiveness and at the same time if people sin against us, we must be able to forgive them as well and forget. Our God is strong and faithful, with him, the impossible is accomplishable! :) Let us continue our walk with God as we seek to become more like him and develop a intimate relationship with him. Isaiah Ho __________________________________________________________________________ This movie has taught me alot. As a sport player myself, the helplessness and the demoralization the coach faced was heartily real to me. The umpteen challenges and failures that we face in life is inevitable, and the only way to solve these problems is to look to God for His wisdom and strength. It taught me that we should first honour God and in everything we do, put Him first for He is the source and without Him, we are indeed nothing at all. It is impossible for us to do things with our own capability and understanding. Through this movie I also came to realise that there are so many times in my life that i failed to really spend time thinking and relating my life to His words. Life is often so hectically scheduled that i so often ungratefully neglected Him. This realization of mine made me ponder and repent over my mistakes and made me realise that in everything, God should always come first. As matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first His kingsom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" Therefore, we should put Him as the first in our life and trust Him for He will never fail us. Lydia Tan __________________________________________________________________ Many times in my life I have faced situation that requires me to make the choice of giving up or pressing on, be it in my studying years (which is many years ago!) or my physical fitness running test which is a race against time and body strength. While watching “Facing the Giants” last Saturday, the scene where the coach instructed one of his players to go half the football field on hands, I observed similar struggles when I took my fitness test. Even before stepping out, the thought of giving up and weariness came storming into my head. It just feel that no matter how hard I try, it will get me no where, so what is the point of giving my best? In the film, the coach blindfolded him and gave him one and only ONE instruction, that is to give his ALL! Although the coach wasn't the one doing the task, he didn't stop encouraging him, didn't left him by himself but follow him throughout. And his perseverance impacted the rest of the team to start believing in the impossible, to start believing in giving their best. Is this similar in our journey as a Christian? Being a Christian, we are called to persevere, to run the race with endurance, and to not lose heart in this journey of life as we allow Him to lead us. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9 It is not just about winning the game but being victorious in life and living a life to the fullest. At the end of the verse, it says if we do not lose heart, in due season we will reap a harvest. And that's the result we saw in the team that did not lose heart but persevere to the end; the Champion! Therefore, let us all, whether in church or outside church with our non-believing friends, let us be one that stand tall in adversity, giving our all to the test and do not give up! For in due season, we will emerge as a champion, a champion that Honors God and Impacting Lives!!
