The CORE: Team Up with Others

Week 7 – Team Up with Others 

 “Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27 

We are working on our spiritual core. So far we have worked on our prayer and Bible reading muscles. Today we are going to learn how a team can help us strengthen our spiritual core. 

Choose two players to play singles tug of war. Add 3 players to one side but leave the other side as a single. Add another player to the side with 4. Add a few to the single player side.  Make sure everyone gets to play on a side. 

What was it like when one person was tugging against five? 

We know the benefit of a team – we all are a team. What are some ways we help each other in games? 

In our spiritual life we also need a team. As a new believer, you have teammates (other believers) to support you and strengthen you. 

When you spend time with other believers you have teammates who will protect you, encourage you in hard times, and celebrate with you in good times.  Teammates on Team God share life with each other. You can boldly share what God is doing in your life, you can learn from each other, pray for each other, challenge each other and read God’s word together. 

What are some ways you can grow with other believers? One way is to find a church that teaches about the Bible and has activities for people your age.  Another is through activities like this team.  We grow together each week in Huddle!  

Have each player partner up. For a minute or so, have the pairs share a prayer request for the upcoming week. 

Additional Scripture: John 1:12-13; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Proverbs 27:17 

God made us to be together, in relationship with one another. Think carefully about who in your life is also a believer. How can you join with them to grow together in strengthening your spiritual core? 

Pray and break Huddle 

Lord, You made us to be on a team. Show me who in my life I can grow in my faith with. Help me be a good teammate that encourages and supports the team.  In Your name, amen.”
