In 1992, the greatest group of basketball players ever assembled on one team put on the uniform of the United States of America. For two weeks that summer, the Dream Team, with Barkley, Jordan, Bird, Drexler, Pippen and a host of other hall of fame players, dominated every nation on their way to winning a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympic Games. Watching them was like watching basketball perfection. In fact, I found an old highlight reel of them on YouTube you can watch by clicking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9oXs9x3Vdg
Well, at LifeGate Church, we're not playing basketball (at least not very well) but we are putting together a Dream Team to help us build an awesome Life-giving, Spirit-empowered church here in Lexington. Membership in the dream team is open to anybody as long as you have the following four characteristics:
1. Positive - An LG Dream Team member has to be positive. As much as Winnie the Pooh liked hanging around with him, no one wants an Eeyore as part of the team.
2. Passionate - God has given us one chance to live this one life. And He has invited us to join him on an awesome adventure. We need to make the most of every moment and live at 100% for Christ.
3. Excellent - God gave us his very best when He gave us Jesus. In return, the least when can do is to give and be our best in all that we do for Him.
4. A Servant - In God's kingdom, the way to get ahead is to serve. An LG Dream Team member has to have the heart of a servant. When we serve others we find true fulfillment and joy.
Maybe you need to develop some of these characteristics in your life. Or maybe you're already living life this way. In either case, we invite you to join with us on the LifeGate Dream Team.
