Teamwork makes the dream work...

Don’t you?

Consider “Miracle on Ice” the story of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team. Coach Herb Brooks gave an incredibly inspirational speech, He said, “Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that’s what you have here, tonight, boys. That’s what you’ve earned here tonight. One game. If we played ’em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can!”

A winning team is an art….there are so many dynamics:

            …selfless players

                        …clear vision

                                    …quality coaching

                                                …diverse skill sets

                                                            …an unquenchable desire to compete

This Sunday, we are continuing our sermon series, “Unwavering Resolve” and I look forward to sharing a sermon about Teams and Teamwork from 2 Corinthians 4:7-18. Within the context of the church, we are called to work together for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus.

But how do we do this? What does this mean for individuals? And who gets to define success?

Since Jesus walked the earth, the power of His life, death, and resurrection has been changing lives and preparing a team – the church – to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

This morning I woke up to an email from a friend with a link telling the story of a Stanford University Professor, Ayaan Hirsi Ali who converted from Islam to Christianity.

The story of God at work is certainly encouraging and perhaps the most inspiring part of the story is that He has called every Christian to be a part of His team that will change the world…literally.

I hope to see you at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am (Full KidCity available), or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.
