How A Team Changed A Man's Life Forever

Writer's picture: Canvas NetworkCanvas Network

We have been meditating in a story found in Mark 2:1-12 where a crippled man is carried by four friends to get healed by Jesus who is trapped in his home, such was the size of the crowd.

We do not want to write on how to develop and manage a great team but rather how a team changed a man's life forever. Our belief is that a key ingredient of the next season for the Church will be collaboration and this will require humility, servanthood and the spirit of Philippians 2:1-4.



Four Men

Have a picture of a brighter future

Have a picture of a brighter future for another

Have a picture of a brighter future that can only be found in Jesus

Have a picture of a brighter future and will not be deterred

Have a picture of a brighter future that involves change

Have a picture of a brighter future that involves letting go of a traditional way, a door

Have a picture of a brighter future that is only possible by violating accepted social norms

Have a picture of a brighter future that only happens by faith

Have a picture of a brighter future that involves getting your hands dirty


One Man

Steps into a brighter because a team of friends let go of their future

Steps into a brighter future by breaking social norms

Steps into a brighter future by letting go of everything he depends upon

Steps into a brighter future by suffering indignity

Steps into a brighter future by listening to Jesus

Steps into a brighter future by being in the Presence of Jesus

Steps into a brighter future by discovering a new identity

Steps into a brighter future by being a part of a small faith community

Steps into a brighter future …by faith


We

Step into a brighter future by creating another entry point

Step into a brighter future by helping others

Step into a brighter future by breaking with accepted norms

Step into a brighter future by listening to Jesus

Step into a brighter future by enjoying the gift of faith

Step into a brighter future by being a team member of a small dynamic community that worships together, enjoys community and a shared mission



Here are a couple of questions:
  1. Do you know the vision of the church down the road and how you might help them with their goals that aligns with the gifts God has given your church?

  2. How easy is it for your church to pivot in these times as easily as these four men and what church/ministry norms may have to be violated?
