Preface

The Bible is a book about God and humanity. Its primary theme is redemption-God drawing people into a relationship with Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ.

    As His creation, we can learn more about ourselves from theology than we can from psychology and sociology combined. This is not to discredit these disciplines, for they provide great insights. And in reality, all truth is God's truth.

    But the Owner's manual for humanity, the Bible, records God's perspective on life. It is generously packed with principles and case studies for our well-being. In the words of the source book itself:

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope (Romans 14:4).

Teamship is designed to enable leadership teams to look at some of these case studies for guidance in their work together. The subtitle of this work denotes its desire to be inspirational-a means of drawing you closer to the Master. The work also aspires to be a coaching tool-providing advice on relational ministry.

    So at the beginning of your team meetings, take a few moments to read a portion of Scripture and the coaching thoughts that follow. Read the devotions in the order provided, or select a particular theme from the listing in the Contents. And use the group exercises to get to know one another better and to press further the thematic principle.

     Our Lord exampled for us the value of service:

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).

So enjoy your service together as a ministry team, and enjoy this resource along your leadership journey.

                                            God's best!
