Title: Chemistry (2 of 4)
Series: Olympic Team Jesus
Author: Steve Jones
Text: I Corinthians 12
MESSAGE SUMMARY: For a church to have great teamwork it needs an intangible quality called "chemistry." In I Corinthians 12 Paul breaks "chemistry" down as follows:
1. Chemistry eschews jealousy
2. Chemistry appreciates interdependence
3. Chemistry defers to God
INTRODUCTION: I want to begin with a little sports trivia today. I'm going to show you pairs of athletes, who played on the same team in their careers, and were known for their chemistry. See if you can name them.

3) Magic Johnson & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
5) Tom Brady & Rob Gronkowski
6) John Stockton and Karl Malone

EXAMPLE: Former pro basketball player Brian Freeman says, "Team chemistry is a cumulative team attitude. It's the way the team feels about itself and its chances to succeed. Confidence is a big part of it. Each member goes into every game knowing exactly what their role is and what they need to do. Even more importantly, they know that everyone else knows their role and will do their job."
Great teams have great chemistry. Corinth didn't have great chemistry.
ILLUSTRATION: If I were to choose a couple of teammates to depict the Corinthian Church it would be this couple: Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. Remember them? In January 1994, a man hired by Harding's semi-estranged husband assaulted rival skater Nancy Kerrigan, hitting her above the knee with a retractable baton so she ...
