Some professional players are worried about their stats. They want touches, highlight reels, personal glory, and a big contract. Others want to win a championship. They desire to see the group succeed and be known as a winner, to the point of being willing to sacrifice individual accomplishments for the good of the team.

Some people are only in it for themselves, while others are team players.

This is not only true at the professional sports level of competition, but also in other arenas, including the Church.

Team players are willing to park at the outskirts of the lot so that guests can have the close spots.

Team players are willing to sit up front in the least desirable seats for the sake of latecomers who can use the back rows.

Team players willingly serve others and sacrifice their time to be the hands of Jesus.

Team players help guests find whatever they need on Sunday and make sure they are comfortable.

Team players want to see the whole Church succeed in the name of Jesus rather than focusing on themselves.

What makes a great Church? The same attitude that exists on championship caliber teams: A willingness to be a team player.
