Why working together is Important?
When someone we love and respect is dying and seeks to ask of us one last favor before the end, we listen intently, and we sense a deep obligation. We will usually try very hard to carry out our loved one’s dying wish, and if we cannot, or if we decide even for good reasons not to, it is often with a keen sense of sorrow. Jesus Prayer before he faced death – For Believers
John 17:20-21, "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
The basis of our union with Christ is unity among one another. The most important thing about being in Christ is the most importance of you and me.

1 Corinthians 12:20-25: (One member to read)20As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
Glorifying one another, (leader)
Let us glorify each other. Let us make one another look good. We can do that by helping
one another to deal with sin, by helping one another with problems, by praising one
another, encouraging one another. Paul in Rom. 16 glorifes Phoebe, when he says, “she
has been a great help to many people, including me.” Do you glorify your brothers and
sisters in Christ? Or are you, like me, sometimes tempted to put them down, to disparage
their accomplishments, to injure their reputations ever so slightly, so you can make yourself
look a little better by comparison? Jesus would never belittle the Father to honor himself,
even though he deserved supreme honor. He humbled himself to do the Father’s will, to
bring glory to Him. We need to humble ourselves, to glorify one another.
I believe the Christian life is something that requires team work. We need to watch out for one another if we're going be all that we can be for the Lord. We need one another.
Question - How come at times working together will not produce result or the desire outcome?
- Salvation to unbelievers
- Ministries work be fruitful

John 21 - Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish
1Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias.[a] It happened this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3"I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered.
6He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Are you aware of the "one another" verses in the Bible? Look with me at:
Romans 12:5 (NKJV) so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Romans 12:10 (NKJV) Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
Romans 12:16 (NKJV) Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
Romans 13:8 (NKJV) Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Romans 14:13 (NKJV) Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.
Romans 15:7 (NKJV) Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
Romans 15:14 (NKJV) Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
