On Easter Sunday, families across the world make their way to local churches to attend special sermons and events. In many families, Easter belongs in the trio of Thanksgiving and Christmas with the entire family gathering for fellowship with one another.
That’s no different in Georgetown, Texas where Tim Tebow delivered a sermon in front of between 15,000 and 30,000 people.
The event, hosted by the Celebration Church, was organized with the expectation of drawing a huge crowd. They weren’t disappointed. The Associated Press reported that the church used shuttle buses to bring in the crowd (dare I say fans?) from parking lots around the area.
While I’ve yet to hear anything about the message of the sermon, I have heard that Tebow jerseys have not been a rare sighting at the event.
Normally, I would take this opportunity to throw Tebow under the bus for using his star power to impress his faith on others, but this is Easter, and that’s just not how I feel. Not only is this the offseason in the NFL, but it’s also the most significant holiday in the Christian faith (combined with Good Friday that is), and this is the perfect forum for Tebow to express his faith to those that want to hear it. I’m curious what the sermon was about, and I’m glad to see Tebow out being active in yet another constructive manner.
