Chapel – Selfish vs. Selfless

Chapel – Selfish vs. Selfless

1 – Why is selflessness so important to successful teams?

·      Which would be more successful -

·      5 on 5?

·      1 on 5?

2 – Here’s another angle on this question from John 12:24-25 (read the text aloud).

·      If we live only for ourselves, we remain by ourselves – one remains one.

·      If we choose to compete selflessly, to involve others and to sacrifice:

o   time

o   possessions

o   minutes

o   points

o   rebounds

o   floor burns

o   we bear much fruit

o   we make everyone better

o   we multiply our team’s productivity

·      If you only self-protect – you lose.

·      If you sacrifice – you win

o   Now

o   Later

o   With teammates, friends, family and in your faith

3 – The challenge today is…

·      Rather than seeking your own good, give yourself up to make your team better.

·      Sacrifice leads to multiplied productivity.
