As football season gets going full speed, I am reminded of the significance of team. There are so many talented players that play football week after week, yet they rarely win. Some teams, in fact, are loaded with talent, yet they seem unable to pull together to outscore their opponent. Many times, the problem is that all the talent in the world can not win unless the individuals realize that they are part of the whole. The team must become more important than the individual if success is going to be a reality.
Church is the same way. Success, defined as honoring God, does not occur in the life of the church unless the whole becomes more important than the individual. Like a talented football team that can not win, a church with loads of talented people, plenty of financial stability, and beautiful buildings can not accomplish success if they do not work together to pursue a common goal. Team is essential if the church is going to become everything God intends it to be.
