1 – Introduction – If we will compete in a unified way today, we will do very well.

2 – Take encouragement from this story in Genesis chapter 11.  Read the text – Genesis 11:1-8. 

• There are two main points to take from this text: They were one people and everyone spoke the same language.
• God Himself observes, “Now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.”
  • God believes in the unlimited potential of unified people who communicate effectively.  (Repeat)
  • This is what God saw in these people and I see that in this team.  Nothing you purpose to do will be impossible for you.

3 – In today’s game-

• Be unified!  When adversity arrives:
  • Don’t criticize teammates, rather challenge them.
  • Don’t avoid failing teammates, embrace them.
  • Don’t withdraw from others, encourage others.
• Communicate effectively!  All day.
  • In meetings
  • In the locker room
  • During pre-game on the field
  • In the huddle
  • During each moment of the game
  • On the sidelines
  • At half-time
  • As we finish strongly
• Play today as a unified team, communicate wisely and effectively and we’ll witness first-hand the unlimited potential of our team.

4 - Prayer
