ON A "TEAM"
On Sunday Mosaic wrapped up the six week series on Sportscenter with the theme of Team. And to no surprise it was amazing.
During the entire series, there have been a series of interviews dones with various athletes who have attended or in some way have a connection to Mosaic. On Sunday there was a interview with John Neighbor who won four gold medals and a silver during the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. He brought in one of the gold medals to share along with the tourch that he used while carrying the Olympic flames prior to the 1984 games. What an experience to be able to hold those two items for just a few second. I mean an Olympic Gold Medal!!
Aside from the amazing site of the medal and tourch, Erwin's message was once again outstanding as he wrapped around the idea team with I Corinthians 12:4-14 and how we have to use our gifts and abilites "correctly" to the get the best result for the team.
"We are all created with uniqueness and gifts that are meant to be lived as a team and in community ... You have to value the gifts of other people and just those 'like you' so the team comes together"
- Erwin McManus
Pretty sweet quote if you ask me. He went on to talk about how when we value our gifts instead of having "gift envy" of others is when the great commission is fully unleashed onto the world.
He gave the community a challenge and he wants people to e-mail him (erwin@mosaic.org) --
For 30 days be The Best at something so that your gifts are used to your best potenial and after that month tell him your story. He is convinced of a life change in anybody who tries it. Are you "in"?
