God's Team

The word "Church" now has so much baggage that it is no longer a very useful word. I sometimes think that the word "team" would be a more meaningful name for what we are.

• A team has a common purpose or goal.
• A team meets and trains together.
• Every member of the team has a different, but essential role.
• If a team member does not perform, the whole team is weakened.
• A team functions best when every member of the team follows the coach's plan.

Perhaps we should start thinking of ourselves as "God's team" in the place where we live.
