Catan and our walk of faith

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

• Catan is a Cooperative Game
• • 1 Corinthians 12:21

Catan is a game of wheeling and dealing, but it becomes a cooperative effort, just like our walk of faith. In Catan, if you don't trade with your neighbors, you won't succeed, and in our faith, if we don't do it with our church body, we won't grow. Even if we don't think we need anyone else to work out of faith, the body needs us.

• Catan is a game of chance
• • 1 Corinthians 12:11

In Catan, we have to work with the cards we're dealt. Sometimes they aren't the cards we want, in Christianity, sometimes we want the gifts of someone else, but God has already equipped us the way he wants. Are we doing anything with that equipping?

• Catan is a building game.
• • Ephesians 4:15

The point of Catan is to grow your roads and settlements, just as the point of Christianity is to qgrow. If you don't grow in the game, you won't win. Our faith is about growth, even if it's a slow or never ending process.

• Catan is a faith game
• • 2 Corinthians 5:7

Our walk of faith is similar to the development cards in Catan. Development cards are all helpful, but we never know which one you're going to get. God knows what's in store for us, but it takes faith on our part and trust in God when we don't know what's ahead but we give it to God anyway.
