March 4, 2024 - TEAM CULTURE (Responsibility to Teammates and Self)

Paul gives us some great advice for team culture… Galatians 6:1-5

Brethren (Teammates), if a man (teammate) is overtaken in any trespass (turns the ball over), you who are spiritual (playing well) restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness (you are responsible to help teammates in an encouraging way), considering yourself lest you be tempted (remembering you are prone to turnovers as well).

Bear one another’s burdens (pick each other up), and so fulfill the law of Christ (build team culture).

For if anyone thinks himself to be something (thinks he’s the man!), when he is nothing, he deceives himself (forgets his role on the team).

But let each one examine his own work (focus on personal responsibility to the team), and then he will have rejoicing in in himself alone, and not in another (boast in being your best, not in being better than someone else).

For each one shall bear his own load (you are responsible for what you bring to the team!).
