Matthew 12:30 (NLT)

30 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.

John 15:18–19 (NLT)

18 “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.

Benefits of joining the team… 

1) Develops personal .

Hebrews 12:11 (NLT)

11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

  1 Corinthians 9:24–27 (NLT)

24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 

25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 

26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 

27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

2) Builds toughness. 

Acts 2:42 (NLT)

42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching…

Moving up the depth chart: 

• Commit to being a regular attender (service & group)
• Get involved (culture course, serve, give, group) 
• Train others (Lead a group or serve team)

Galatians 3:28–29 (ESV)

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

4) Helps us see the picture. 

John 15:13–14 (NLT)
