The Church: Every Member Is Important

Speaker: Jerry Witham Series: Gospel in Life Topic: Church Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:12–31

The body of Christ, the Church is full of diversity.  This is part of God's plan.  Each local church is different than others and the members within each local body are different.  Each member is different in so many ways including age, life stage, intellectually, physically, spiritually, personality and giftedness.  The apostle Paul says, But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired (1 Corinthians 12.18).  It is not by accident that members are in the local church that they are in.  It is part of God's strategic plan for His Church. Today we learn that our differences are all part of God's plan, so that there are no divisions and rivalry, but instead unity and oneness.  As a united church we have a beautiful purpose to fill every nook and cranny of the earth with the glory of Christ.
