 THE
TEAM AND THE BODY
For as the body is one and has many parts, and
all the parts of that body, though many, are one
body - so also is Christ. 1 Corinthians
12:12
In the recent Olympics many were amazed as they
sat and watched Michael Phelps chase history for
eight gold medals. From the first to the last
race, our eyes and passion for victory were
mesmerized. But there was something different
about the last race. The pressure for him to win
his eighth gold medal was being placed on those
who would swim within their strengths either
before or after him - it was a team event.
Phelps had proven his skills; and now the world
was watching his team.
Teamwork is an important part of the church
body. The scripture reveals to us that "though
there are many parts, we are one body." As a
follower of Christ, you have been uniquely
gifted and called to serve the Lord. Yes there
are many members within our fellowship, but God
has given you the mandate to build up and use
your talents for His glory. One of the greatest
expressions of worship is service. God has set
apart the local church to be His vehicle for
which the world could hear and see the message
of Christ. This task is not left to just one
person. If our overall goal is to impact our
community, nation, and world for Christ, then it
takes us all - one unified team strengthening
each other for the ultimate prize!
Over the next few weeks, ask God to reveal to
you your position on the team. Where has He
gifted you and how could you serve in that
passion? Opportunities are needed now at the Rec
Desk and the Gym area.
I have coined a phrase that I try to keep in
perspective:
Thrive on 3 - Be in corporate worship, Commit to
a small group Bible study, and Serve in one
ministry of your passion!
Partners with a Purpose,
