Do you remember choosing sides for a game at recess? Two captains were selected and then the captains took turns choosing teammates for the game of

kickball or pick up basketball. If you were lucky you were picked early either because of your skill or the quality of your relationship with the captain. It was a

nerve wracking experience wondering if you would get picked or not. Paul wanted the Believers in Rome to know that they were a part of God’s team! We can

know that we are a part of His team and that each of us can be great teammates!
