Did you catch that principle? Success is not measured by activity but by achieving the win. If your team’s players don’t cross home plate it doesn’t matter how beautifully the individual players played, or how hard the team worked, or how great the camaraderie on the field. Everything is measured in light of the win. So what is OUR win? What is our win here at Chestnut Street Baptist Church? How do we know we’ve been successful? Where is our home plate? What scoreboard should we be looking at to determine whether or not we’ve won? Because there is a difference between a lot of activity – no matter how good that activity is - and achieving a win. What is OUR win? The win in light of which all our other activities might be MEASURED and towards which all of our activities should MOVE us?

So what do you do? You stop the car, turn around, run in the house and get it. Now the funny thing is that all of us just a few short years ago used to drive EVERYWHERE without a cell phone. BUT NOW? Now we can’t even run to the corner store to pick up a gallon of milk without knowing our cell phone is in the car with us in case of an emergency. What happened? Our cell phone has become ESSENTIAL to us - something we just can’t imagine being without! These things are essential to us. So why is it that church so non-essential to so many? For those who profess to be Christians, most of them count their cell phones as ESSENTIAL and yet, many of those same people treat church as NON-ESSENTIAL. Why? Because my friends, things that are USEFUL and HELPFUL we keep, we seek, we inconvenience ourselves to have in our lives. But for many church has not shown itself useful or helpful and thus has become non-essential.

As most of you know, each round of the show begins with four contestants place a single bid on an initial prize and the player who bids closest to the product's actual retail price without going over both wins the prize and then gets to play one of several “Pricing Games” for even bigger and more substantial prizes. My favorite strategy is the ONE DOLLAR BID. If you are the fourth bidder and you think EVERYONE else has overbid, all you need to do is bid ONE DOLLAR and since you’re the only one who didn’t go over YOU WIN! You know, that opening competition reminds me of the scene that we’re about to study today. We have a number of contestants playing today’s game and all of them are bidding on how much Jesus is worth. Many of them seem to be crying out 'One Dollar!' because they believe the other contestants have grossly overbid. What do their bids and their reactions to the bids of the other constants reveal about them? And most importantly, what will YOUR bid reveal about YOU and YOUR understanding of just how much Jesus is worth?
