Power Boost 4: 100% Team (Surround)

READY

“Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.” Philippians 2:2 NLT

SET

“Team beats talent when talent isn’t a team.” 

I believe this is a true statement. One can have all the best talent, but if those players are selfish or are not helping their teammates be their best, that team will not succeed. Teams win in the locker room before they win on the field. If players and coaches trust, love, and are committed to each other, that team will have more success. We all can be great teammates and help each other be successful!

In 2016, when the Clemson football team won the NCAA National Championship, coach Dabo Swinney told his team they would win because we love each other. We love where we are. We love what we do. The Clemson program is built on caring about each other as a person, friend, and teammate. The team has goals that everyone is committed to. Everyone cares about their teammates’ success. And each person brings his or her best, day in and day out. This is Philippians 2:2 in action—a team loving each other, working together, and united in mind and purpose!

That is a great picture of the family of God. God calls His team “the body.” Everyone thinks about what is best for the other person instead of his or herself. In Acts 2, we see the way God’s family loves and serves each other. We are called to find a need, meet it, and encourage others on the team to do the same!
