Biblically, an incredible emphasis is given to the concepts of working together as God’s people in order to function as the body of Christ. Although the word team is not used, we find similarities between the biblical emphasis and our understanding of teamwork and the success related to its practice.

Queen Elizabeth II said, “I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.”

When leaders understand the value of people using their abilities in a united effort to the glory of God, we have an opportunity to influence the most powerful movement on earth.

God designed the church to be one and for His people to work together as one. If the team mindset exists and we move forward in unison, great things happen.

Let us strive in leadership to encourage others to use their efforts, talents, insights, enthusiasm, and inspiration to achieve success as one…team.
