Selfish vs. Selfless - Chapel

1 – Why is selflessness so important to successful teams?

• Which would be more successful -
• 5 on 5?
• 1 on 5?

2 – Here’s another angle on this question from John 12:24-25 (read the text aloud).

• If we live only for ourselves, we remain by ourselves – one remains one.
• If we choose to compete selflessly, to involve others and to sacrifice:
  • time
  • possessions
  • minutes
  • points
  • rebounds
  • floor burns
  • we bear much fruit
  • we make everyone better
  • we multiply our team’s productivity
• If you only self-protect – you lose.
• If you sacrifice – you win
  • Now
  • Later
  • With teammates, friends, family and in your faith

3 – The challenge today is…

• Rather than seeking your own good, give yourself up to make your team better.
• Sacrifice leads to multiplied productivity.
