"And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant-

7 these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples."

House of prayer for all people.

Sports has long been one the leading agents for social change.

Think about the NCAA basketball tourney going on right now. Several teams gather at one site with multiple games over a 2 day stretch. Bc games are back to back, different teams form alliances with another team and cheer for them.

Heaven is probably that way. We will all look different and have different passions and things that excite us. We will come from different places with different customs and languages—but we should all stand together singing praises n cheering for God!

Who are we cheering next to in the arena of faith? How can we help our church live up to being a house of prayer for all nations?
