Teamwork

If you have a gifted evangelist in your church, ask them how, based on your gifts, you could work with them to grow fully devoted followers of Christ.

If there is a new Christian in your church, ask how they are going and how you might help meet any needs they have.

Consider what can be done through a sermon in the context of a worship service that cannot be done equally well or better through another forum of church life.

Consider the advantages of a worship service over personal worship.

Ask anyone you come across in your church, who seems to have some longer-term tension with another person, to tell you one or more positive things about that person, then encourage them to communicate those to the other person in some way.

Make eye contact and shake hands or greet someone from your church with whom you have had even the slightest relational tension and ask how they are going generally or with one of their specific areas of interest.

Speak out about the positives of a person or current situation (or how things could clearly be worse) when in any negative sounding discussions this week (but then of course work to make the situation better).

Take time before meetings this week (e.g. at meals with your family, a leadership or team meeting, a mentoring appointment, etc.) to think about a celebration point that relates to that individual or group as a whole and then share that point in the meeting.

Share with someone why you believe they have a particular gift that is better developed in them than in yourself.

Ask your congregation/small group/team/family/friends what unique gift they personally brought to worship this week with which to bless God and encourage the church.
