Chapel – Selfless

1 – Introduction – today we’ll talk about being selfless.   That’s the direct opposite of being selfish or having a “Me First” attitude.  Selfless people seek the best for others, before themselves.

2 – Read the text – Romans 12:3-5

·      Every man among us.

o   Don’t overestimate your importance.

o   Think with sober judgment.

o   God has given each of us a place on this team.

·      Your body is made up of many parts, but it is one body.  Each part has a particular function.  Each part does what it alone can do.

·      We are many in Christ and in this team, but we are one.

o   When one succeeds, we all benefit.

o   When one fails, we all suffer.

o   When one achieves, we all achieve.

o   When one acts selfishly, we all lose.

o   When one is suspended, we as a team are lesser.

·      All or goals remain within our reach.

·      We can be as good and can achieve as highly as we want.

o   If each one serves his team and teammates selflessly.

o   If each one fulfills his role to its fullest.

o   If each one will put the team’s best interest ahead of any selfish pleasures or foolish behaviors.

·      We will be champions this year if we will choose to honor our team by being selfless.
