Working As A Team
TALKING TO GOD
Thank God that you have a significant part to play in the body of believers.
DIVING IN
Turn a household task into a bucket brigade by passing items hand to hand to complete the chore. Do this when loading the washing machine with laundry, unpacking groceries in the kitchen or putting away clean dishes.
GOING DEEPER
Notice how quickly the work gets done when everyone pitched in? Each person’s contribution is valuable. It’s easy to think that certain roles or people in the body of Christ are more important than others. Leaders who speak publicly might appear most essential, but Jesus asks you to play your part in the life of His Church. The apostle Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 how he planted “seeds” of the Gospel, then another believer Apollos watered the seeds, and God made them grow. Both believers played a part in the process, but their roles were different. Can you imagine a soccer team where one player decided to stay home when they had a game? The team would be ineffective. God wants you to work with others as players on His team.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- How would the body of Christ suffer if members didn’t do their part?
- How can you build teamwork in your family and with other believers?
