What do Kobe and the Church Have in Common?


On a recent NBA Sports Center broadcast, Charles Barkley commented that the Lakers would win the NBA Championship because Kobe Bryant is unstoppable. Then Barkley paused for a moment and said, that is, as long as Kobe doesn’t stop Kobe.

Likewise, the Bible teaches us that the church of Jesus Christ is absolutely unstoppable. It is offensive not defensive, it is progressing not declining, it is defeating not being defeated, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. If this is all true, which it is, then what is the one thing that can stop the church from progressing?… Well, the church can stop the church. If we choose to live in disbelief, condemnation, unholiness, and lukewarmness, then we stop ourselves.

Become unstoppable by believing and choosing to obey all that God has promised in His Word!
