Rajon Rondo

Last month the Boston Celtics lost their star point guard, Rajon Rondo, to a season-ending knee injury. When Rondo was injured, the outlook for the Celtics’ season suddenly became quite bleak. However, the team has responded with a great effort, winning all seven of their games since losing the services of Rondo.

Teamwork is a key to Christianity. Jesus didn’t send his followers out all alone; he sent them in teams of two (Mark 6:7). Paul worked closely with other believers to plant churches and to encourage congregations that had already been established.

Churches and small groups that thrive today are often ones that do not count on any one individual to carry them. If a key member is sidelined for some reason, the rest of the team picks up the slack and carries on. This results in more victories for the cause of Christ.
