Eric Ludy - The Long Jump (Sermon)

From the outside looking in, the long jump event in track and field doesn’t seem very complicated. You run and then, well, jump. What’s so difficult about that? But, experts that know a little more than the average human say that the long jump is actually one of the most technically complex events in all of sports. And that’s kind of like living out the Christian life. From the outside looking in it doesn’t sound that difficult to make happen. You just need to love, rejoice, be patient, holy, and pure. How hard can that be? So, it’s a bit of shock when the average Joe tries to live it out and simply can’t. But, thank God that He is the ultimate spiritual track and field coach, and it is His desire to train us to succeed in this impossible event known as “living a godly life.” This is a fun biographical message in which Eric shares twenty brief stories in his life that explain the many technically complex moments in his journey that have made up his personal long jumping adventure.
