The INDYCAR Ministry and my Involvement

The Indy Car Ministry provides chapel services at each track where the Indy Car, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda Championship, and USF2000 series race. Chapel services include Christian music, Holy Communion, prayer, and a biblical message. We provide prayer and counseling support to drivers and team members. Bible studies are also provided at some of the race shops.

Show Car Trailer Graphics!

Check out the design that Bart from Business Art & DeSigns did for us on the show car trailer! The INDYCAR Ministry now has a 1995 Pennzoil Indy Car that was driven by Roberto Guerrero! We are looking for creative ways to use this resource for raising funds and awareness for the ministry. Let us know if you have any ideas!

“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

We discussed this at last week's Gasoline Alley Winner's Circle study. This is what Jesus said to the woman after Jesus told the accusing crowd, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

How often to we carry a stone just waiting for someone to slip up? How often are we the first to accuse and the last to forgive?

Be quick to listen and forgive.

What's Your Story?

In the Winner's Circle Bible study last week and at church this Sunday, the idea of "your story" was discussed. You do not have to be a Biblical scholar or theologian to share Christ with others. You need to just tell your story of how Christ has moved in your life.

We often often miss the part of the "woman at the well" story in John 4 when John recorded in verse 39, - Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” It was because of "her story" that many came to know Christ.

Who do you need to share your story with?

How has God met your needs?

What prevents us from acknowledging God's provision for us? How does remembering God's provision in the past encourage you to trust him with your present needs? How do you think your Christian witness is affected when you don't take time to enjoy life? We discussed these questions by Max Lucado last week at the Winner's circle study.

Take some time to examine your lives and heart to acknowledge God's provisions for you this Christmas season!

Why did Jesus Turn Water to Wine?

This question was discussed in the last week's Gasoline Alley Winner's Circle Bible Study. A couple things to notice in John 2.... Mary did not ask Jesus to do this. She did not even ask him to fix the problem. She simply stated in verse 2 “They have no more wine.” But she knew He would do something. In verse 4 she instructed the servants “Do whatever he tells you.” At first look, we might assume that Jesus was just saving the wedding from disaster. Or that He was simply being obedient to his mother's implied request. Or maybe it was so he could show others He could perform a miracle....

Look at verse 11... this was the beginning of the revealing of His glory and it says, "and his disciples believed in him." His disciples were convinced at this moment that "this was the guy"!

What will it take for you to believe, to trust, to follow...... fix your eyes on Jesus....

What about Jesus' Heart?

What does Jesus' willingness to become a human being reveal about his heart? This question was from last week's Gasoline Alley Winner's Circle study.

John 17:6-8 In Jesus' prayer for disciples gives us an image of just where His heart is when it comes to those who follow him. “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me."

Do you follow Him?

Have you received Jesus?

John 1:11-12 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

This is an excerpt from the Gasoline Alley Bible study last week - Many people did not believe that Jesus was God's Son. What did they miss by not receiving him? What did they miss in addition to eternal life?

Have you received Jesus? If so, you are a child of God! Thanks be to the Lord!

Finish Strong

Congrats to Sage Karam and the Andretti Autosport team for their USF2000 championship!

2 Timothy 4:7 says "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Just as this team finished strong in the USF2000 series, we are also called to finish strong in the race of life. Keep your faith in Christ strong, do not get discouraged, keep fighting, stay in the race.

Thanks for supporting the me and the IRL Ministry this year!
