Team 180:

Have you ever been stuck in a situation when you wanted to quit because you were sick of the same old routine day in and day out?

Maybe it is the day to day chores and the trash is full in the kitchen again. You take it out because you know no one else will.

Or how about the empty TP role? "Really! No one can help out and volunteer to change the TP role?"

Sometimes we are in situations where we feel like there is no purpose for being here.

"Why bother?"

180 SECRET - OVERCOME COMPLACENCY - THE SIX RE'S!

Jesus was talking with His Team that in Revelation 2. It was a Team that was just going through the motions with no real purpose. A Team that was emotionally bored.

On Sundays they would smile and shake hands but during the week they couldn't wait to talk about all of the latest gossip.

Jesus gave them a Strategy to Win! Jesus knew the people were caught in the mundane boring trap of Success and Complacency.

Jesus also knew He needed to get the Team kick started again.
