SEASON THEME:  Relentless & Resilient    SEASON TEXT: Romans 8:37-39                                    

THEME OF THE WEEK:  Being a "Relentless & Resilient" --- TEAMMATE
Text: Philippians 2:2&3 -- Read verses 1-18  "Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themseves."    

   As Christians, united to Christ we are called to be Christ minded teammates on many different teams in this life. In our families, friend groups, school, the workplace, and on athletic teams. Most importantly though, as members of team Jesus in our churches and the body of Christ. Our text this week gives us some really great guidance on how to best go about being a great team member. Because remember, a whole bunch of great teammates makes for the greatest of teams!

   In our text this week Paul makes a personal request to the Philippians. He says this is what will make me most happy and fill me with so much joy. If you are of one mind. Have the same hearts of love, and are pressing together toward the same goal. Together they all speak of the same idea. A deep, abiding, and heartfelt unity as believers. Then what follows are some descriptions of how to achieve and practice this. By nature we are so prone to be selfish and proud. We always want to promote ourselves and our own name. Self pride is infact the greatest obstacle of establishing unity and a great team.The verses say that thinking to highly of yourself and having exessive self interest is literally empty glory. Instead of this the text says true unity is having a humble spirit and seeing everyone else on the team as better than you.

   So a great team with a healthy team atmosphere will will not be driven by individual ideas and agendas. As Christians united to Jesus we will always be motivated to serve and seek what is best for our team first. We will see others as more important and be quick to ask what would be the best for the team. Genuine humilty does not begin with me all the time. It sees self really as nothing and looks to Jesus for the power to instead seek the good of the team first.

   Our challenge and encouragement then this season as coaches, runners, and parents is all the same. Have the same mindset as  Jesus when it comes to being a teammate. We will need this more than ever this year as a team. A team that is full of teammates who look to Jesus for the power and motivation to be Relentless & Resilient in putting team before self. One that is striving toward one common goal together, with one mind and one heart. May our God give us the grace and strength to do that this XC season. When He does your coaches will be unbelievably happy and filled with so so much joy!
