TEAM NIGHT - MAY 28, 2017

IT'S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS!!

Problem is that it’s real easy to work together, serve together, live in the same neighborhood together, even go to church together…but not do life together.

  • We could be serving together, but not doing life together.
  • Gather in the same place, but not actually doing life together 
  • Even be in the same small group, but not be doing life together
    • Fear
    • Busy
    • Past hurts
  • Problem is it's unhealthy for us AND our church.

 

Colossians 3:12-17

  • Intentional relationships = Life on purpose
  • Let’s not just serve together…let’s do life together.
    • Intentional relationships will build your teams and keep your teams healthy.
    • People don’t connect with process or programs…they connect to people.
    • We are building something together that we could never build on our own.

 

Practical ways…

  • Create margin (time) in your life. Relationships typically happen in the margins.
  • Be the person (friend) you want people to be to you
    • Be the friend you want others to be to you
    • Be the team member that you would want on your team
  • Invite someone to serve on your team
    • Best recruiting for your team is friend asking friends
    • Personal invite is still the greatest tool for church growth.
  • Look for the give and take. Great relationships have good give and take.
    • There are some that you will just serve
    • But every great relationship has a give and take
    • Example from neighborhood
  • Invite someone to coffee
  • Invite someone to lunch
  • Start a group text
  • Go to the park
  • Grill out
  • Be inclusive (not exclusive)
  • Be vulnerable
  • Be authentic
  • Communicate well
  • Encourage, encourage, encourage
  • Admit (own it) and apologize 
  • Have fun!

LifePointe Team Nights are so much fun with people who are serious about changing the world!! Heroes are people who are helping people. Tonight our 5-STAR HERO is Ramiro Noboa.
