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 aloud)

• 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
