This one time, at band camp…I mean at volleyball camp…I got angry. I was upset because the coach had his favorites day one. They were players he already knew from his club team. And he gave them the best opportunities and all of his attention. It wasn’t fair. In my head I thought, “These kids aren’t as good as me. I’m working harder. I have more potential.”

But my frustration cost me. I began comparing myself and then looking for approval from coaches. The distraction caused me to get discouraged and eventually I lost enthusiasm and starting playing worse. What could have been a fun opportunity to play and grow became an experience that I hated.

I thought of that volleyball camp this morning while I was preparing the message for Sunday. Sunday I’m going to tell you why so many Christians are angry. You don’t want to miss this weekend.
