Introduction
In a minute I’m going to ask you all a question - it’s a question I’ve asked before in an evening service, but I’m asking it again today.
And I’ll explain why I’m asking this question in a minute or two - because there is a reason for asking this question.
But before I ask this question, I want to tell you a story, and again, this is also a story I’ve told before...
In the 2008 Olympics, Michael Phelps, the American swimmer, won 8 gold medals, 2 more golds than the previous Olympic games.
Now, at that time he was unstoppable - people wanted to be like him.
He was all over the news.
Every morning on the news there was a story of Phelps winning ANOTHER gold medal.
It was like he was half man half dolphin.
In fact, I was convinced he was on performance enhancing drugs.
Nobody was THAT good.
But he wasn’t on drugs - he WAS THAT good.
And not being a sports fan, even I thought he was impressive.
You might stretch it to say that I was a fan - I mean, I admired his skill at swimming.
I was impressed with how fast this guy was.
I was blown away by the number of medals he had won.
I thought this guy was a great swimmer.
There was no denying that.
He WAS a great swimmer.
And so you could say I was a fan of Michael Phelps...
