Chapel – Team Unity

Chapel – Team Unity

1 – Competitions like this one require tremendous team unity.  Each one must bring his/her best to make the team all it can be.

2 – Think for a moment about how diverse your team is:

·      Size

·      Strength

·      Background

·      Ethnicity

·      Skill sets

·      Personalities

3 – Think about how the team is diminished if any one of you is at less than 100%.

4 – Think about how the team’s personality on the floor changes with each substitution.  You are not interchangeable parts in a machine.

5 – Think about the factors which unify such a diverse set of people.  These are most important.

6 – Ephesians 4:4-7 (read the text)

·      One body / one Spirit / one hope of calling

·      One Lord / one faith / one baptism

·      One God / one Father

·      Over all, through all, in all…

·      But each one was given grace as a gift.

·      Each one is uniquely gifted.  All united, but not all the same.

7 – Today, your team will be most successful when each one brings the best of his/her unique giftedness to a unified effort with the whole team.

·      You will be very good today as you play as one.

·      Unified in purpose

·      Unified in values

·      Unified in strategy

·      Unified in heart
