2013 Season in Full Swing!

Congrats to Neil Alberico and Cape Motorsports for taking the checker flag in the second race of the season!
We had a good, but cold, chapel service this morning. Continuing the sermon series, “like” Jesus, we discussed the difference between a secular vs. biblical worldview. According to a recent Barna survey, only 9% of born again Christians have a biblical word view…. more on that in a later blog entry!
Safe races this week. Thanks for prayin!

USF2000 Winterfest Completes 6 Races Series

Congrats to Cape Motorsports and Neil Alberico for claiming the 2013 USF2000 Winterfest Championship. Neil won 5 of the 6 races series. While there were a few incidents, God kept everyone safe.

In Chapel today, we discussed what it might look like to be a faithful servant of Christ. We are to:

1. Humble yourself - Philippians 2:3-4 - Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

2. Deny yourself - Mark 8:34 - Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

3. Live like Jesus - 1 John 2:6 - Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

We ended with a couple questions:

Do you love Jesus?

           OR

Do you love the idea of Jesus?

Are you striving to like Jesus?

           OR 

Are you striving to become like Jesus?

It's your choice.....

"Like Jesus" - 2013 Sermon Series!

I am excited to announce the sermon series for the 2013 USF2000 and Pro Mazda Championship chapel services; "Like Jesus"!!!! This obviously is a spin off the Facebook "Like" and will include messages such as "Pray like Jesus", "Lead like Jesus", and "Live like Jesus". If you are at a USF2000 or Pro Mazda Championship event, be sure to catch a chapel service and see how you can be more "like Jesus"!

“Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” - 1 Peter 1:13-16

Be "Like Jesus".....
