You're on the Team

This week, we’re continuing to talk about teams. You are not doing this alone! So this week, let’s think about how to find our place “on the wall” as we partner with God to rebuild and restore! 

Christ 

Scripture explains that we are individuals who are deeply loved by God, but that we are also part of the corporate Team of God. Learning to embrace both the individual and corporate part of our life is important.

Take Action Read Ephesians 2, and spend some time in prayer and ask God: are you living as though the grace of God is being released to you as part of the Team of God?

Now, spend some time in meditation/prayer around the idea that you are a masterpiece, fashioned for good works. 

What would it look like to live as an. Individual masterpiece, but as part of a team?

Community

In this political season, it’s important to let the Spirit of God saturate our hearts, and deliver us from deliverance and isolation. Connection during these next few weeks is crucial. 

Take Action: If you haven’t already, consider joining a micro group. Micro groups are a great way to get to know other like-minded believers who live close to you. Also, consider changing how you engage on social media platforms; too often the way we talk to others on Facebook and Instagram only does harm to one another. 

Calling

Here at Calvary, our Front Yard Mission is our way to bring the life-changing message of the Kingdom to our neighbors! But  your Front Yard Mission might look different than someone else’s since your gifts and personality are unique. 

Take Action: This week, we’ve got an assessment that will help you learn how God has fashioned you for your Front Yard Mission. It takes only 2 minutes to complete, but the results will help you picture how God wants to use you in your community! Click the link to take the assessment!

Every person’s story has a team. Your story has a team.  God doesn’t call any of us to do this life alone. From Moses and Joshua, Paul and Barnabus, to Jesus himself, we see in scripture that teams are just the way God moves in people’s lives.

This week, we’re taking action to build our team. Here’s how you can thrive in the areas of Christ, community, and calling.

CALLING

When you think about reaching your neighborhood, who might be called to be part of your team? Or, which team might you be called to join? 

ACTION: This week’s Front Yard Mission (FYM) is all about forming neighbor-reaching teams in the form of micro groups.

CHRIST

Developing your team involves seeing God at work in your life and hearing his voice. 

ACTION: Spend some deliberate time in prayer with Jesus. See if you can hear him say two things: 

  1. Who in your life has spoken the words, “I believe in you?” 
  2. Where is Jesus himself saying to you, “I believe in you?” Be it a circumstance or an obstacle or a place where you are weary, where is Jesus by the Spirit trying to encourage you?

COMMUNITY

In the video above, Dan explains a simple rule of the kingdom:

If your goal is to serve someone else, you’ll never feel left out. If your goal is to speak into the lives around you, you’ll never want for a team. 

But if you’re waiting, you’ll always be lacking. 

TAKE ACTION: This week, don’t wait to be encouraged, but instead look for those you can speak life to. Here’s how:

  1. Take a few minutes and make a list of 3-5 people who you can speak into.
  2. For each person on the list, pray for them, and then think of a specific encouragement for them. 
  3. Deliver the message! Maybe you can speak to them in casual conversation at work; maybe a phone call or text is more appropriate. But make a goal to encourage each of them this week!
