Week 4 starts Saturday!
Join us for another weekend of Upward Basketball THIS Saturday, February 3, at 9 a.m. 🏀 This week’s theme verse comes from Joshua 6:20:
So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat.
This week’s theme is, “I want to trust and obey God.” This, of course, comes from the famous chapter that records the Fall of Jericho and God’s miraculous provision for his people’s victory. It would’ve been next to impossible to go along with what God said to do. How in the world would marching in circles around a fortress blaring trumpets lead to walls made of stone falling down? Regardless, God’s people obeyed and that’s exactly what happened. Simply put, that’s what the Christian life is all about — trusting and obeying the Word of God above all else.
Here’s the list of this week’s games:
9 a.m. Bears vs. Panthers
10:15 a.m. Falcons vs. Leopards
11:20 a.m. Green Wave vs. Hoosiers
12:25 p.m. Bucks vs. Warriors
1:30 p.m. Heat vs. Mavericks
2:40 p.m. Sooners vs. Golden Flash
