one man show

I watched the past few NBA finals games and the play of one team was horrendous. The Lakers are a one man team, it's obvious and it doesn't work. No one man can carry one team past another team that plays together. When each person does their job, it's far better than when several people do nothing and one does an amazing job.
It's the same in the church setting. We all have different gifts, talents and abilities. We are all given different strengths, some are workers, some are prayers, some are leaders, and some are speakers. Altogether you have one unit.

Romans 12 says this about it.
Therefore, I urge you,brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual Or reasonable act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,so in Christ we who are many form one body,and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts,according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying,let him use it in proportion to his Or in agreement with the faith.If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously;if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Basically it all boils down to attitude. On a team you can either want to win, or you can want to be a winner. There's a difference, someone who wants to win will do whatever it takes to help his team, on the other hand, a person who wants to be a winner will sit back and hope that they win.
In church it is not all that different, it boils down to the use of one word, service. When you are driving to church does your family's attitude reveal a want for service, or serve-us. I hope it's the first choice because that is what we are meant to do. We are meant to serve God, and serve other believers and non-believers in a way that is pleasing to God. Instead, far too many of us walk through the doors with a serve-us mentality. What is church going to do for me today? What is the church going to do to meet my needs, instead of what can I do to meet the needs of another for Christ. So be careful! When you go to church this Sunday, make sure you're ready to serve and not wanting to be serve. It will make all the difference in the world to both you and those who you serve.
