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!
