I had a "team" of doctors, but each one was focused on their own area.
Each doctor was aware that other doctors were treating me at the same time. But they really were not very concerned with exactly what the other one was doing. The cardiologist that I saw was intent on finding any irregularities in my heart that could be causing a problem. He knew about each test, in relation to my heart, what it showed and what it didn't. He provided every tool available to him at that hospital to be certain that my heart was healthy before he signed off on my chart. When he had his conversation with me, he discussed just my heart and how it related to my symptoms.
Each doctor, nurse, and technician afforded me their best care and attention. Each one carefully explained what each test had revealed and how that pertained to symptoms. Each one was totally consumed with how their particular area of medicine affected my illness and recovery.
Many churches have a lead "team" but each person is focused intently on his own area.
As leaders, it's sometimes easy to become obsessed with our area of expertise, our area of ministry, and become consumed with only what we do that affects those that we serve in our congregation. We need to remember that while we may deal with a particular area, but we are all serving the same "whole body". We are a team, and we hope for and encourage each other as we labor together to serve our congregation, not become obsessed with only those areas where we are "specialists".
I am so thankful to be part of the ministry "team" of Momentum Church. It is a group that truly is a team that purposes to reach others and grow together as fully devoted followers of Christ!
