Key Points
“I’m not looking for the best players, but the RIGHT players”

Agenda Harmony Warning #2
“Under the normal time and money crunch in a church, all too often we compromise our core values, let the wrong people on our leadership team, and pay a terrible price for it long-term!”
![Page 16: Communication technology today is incredible…..with email, for instance, we can stay connected to people around the world. BUT…..unintentional error or](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e395503460f94b29dca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Key Points “I’m not looking for the best
players, but the RIGHT players” “We do not have enough talent
to win on talent alone” “We cannot be a team of
common men” It is amazing what a real TEAM
can do.

Remember who we play for, and what is at stake.
Building a Team is hard work It is not about us, our agenda,
our preferences, our glory, but His Glory.
When victory comes…. What a celebration – in the church, in your heart, and in Heaven
