WE ARE A TEAM 1 Corinthians 3:2-4, “I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? For when one says, ‘I am of Paul,’ and another, ‘I am of Apollos,’ are you not carnal?” Some in the church proclaimed, ‘I am for Paul’ while others said, ‘I am for Apollos’. Who is Paul and who is Apollos? They are servants of God. Real servants of God preach the Word to motivate people to faith. It takes faith to realize that each Christian is a part of God’s team. Each of Christ’s members is dear to Him. Each of Christ’s members, mystically cannot have the same office, function and use. Whether we plant or water, we are a team and each will be rewarded for what he or she does. We are all Christ’s co-workers. Until the Church knows this, we will not stop envying and being jealous of each other. You are only building on the foundation that has already been laid. Jesus Christ is the foundation. Today, we behave as if we can lay the foundation. That is why we can judge, begin to measure ourselves by ourselves and compare ourselves to others in the church. We should not allow our differences to tear us apart and pull us down. The church must recognize that ‘you are because I am and I am because you are’. Where you are strong, I am weak; where you are weak, I am strong. Therefore, we are one another’s strength.
