Introduction:

• Select a player who has proven he/she can be trusted. 
• Have the player to stand.
• Invite his/her coaches and teammates to describe situations in which he/she has proven trustworthy.
• Wrap up and ask the player to be seated.

John chapter 4 gives us a strong example of someone being trusted. (Read John 4:46-53 aloud.)

• This government official has a son who is critically ill, near death.
• He hears that Jesus has traveled to his area. He trusts and takes action.
• He travels to where Jesus is, finds Him, and asks Jesus to come heal his son.
• Jesus tests his heart with a tough statement.
• The man pleads again for his son's healing. (He passed the heart test.)
• Jesus sent him back home, assuring him that his son would live.
• The man trusts, takes action, and heads for home immediately.
• As they're still traveling home the next day, his servants tell him his son is well!
• He then calculates the time of his son's healing (1:00 pm), it's the very moment he trusted Jesus and took action.
