Team Spirit


Team Spirit - A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all.



What do you think is the most important part of a team? My opinion is YOU.


Why would I choose you?


Willingness is more like I will if I have to. Eagerness - I'll be happy to sacrifice personal accomplishments for the good of the team.


Is doing something willingly bad?


What if you change your mindset to eager to do something?


Team spirit is the ultimate expression of interdependence.


What is interdependence?


You Need Others. Why do you need others?


If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. Now all of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is separate and necessary part of it.

1 Corinthians 12:26-27


The ones who do the planting or watering aren't important, but God is important because he is the one who makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work as a team with the same purpose.

1 Corinthians 3:7-8


The point is, to God my contribution is no more valuable than yours, but neither is it less.


Team Spirit -


Some of us are Jews, some are gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into Christ's body by one Spirit, and we have all received the same Spirit.

 1 Corinthians 12:13


Don't think more highly of yourself than you ought, But don't think less of yourself either. Be an eager team member, not reluctant or just willing. God wants your heart, and God's team needs your contribution.



Think about the groups which you belong to. What role do you play in each?


How important is your role?


Do your current roles best utilize your spiritual gifts and natural talents?


How can you be a better team member?

Saluki downTime January 22, 2023 Poise  If you had 1 million dollars but could only spend it on things that start with first letter of your last name. What would you buy? 3 things.  Poise - graceful and elegant bearing in a person. - balance; equilibrium . : BALANCE especially : to hold or carry in equilibrium carried a water jar poised on her head : to hold supported or suspended without motion in a steady position : to hold or carry (the head) in a particular way : to put into readiness : BRACE : to become drawn up into readiness Just being yourself. Being at east in any situation. Never fighting yourself.  Whatever you are doing to do - do it fast.  Natural outgrowth of having the other blocks in their proper place. We don’t have either if we don’t have the others  - Poise.  Just being you. Does this make sense to you?  When we have poise, we’re not acting, faking, or pretending. We are not trying to live up to others expectations. What have you faked?  Something simple?  Somethi
