Every Part is Important

Theme: Every Part is Important

Verse:  1 Corinthians 12:20

Cross County is an interesting sport. For those unfamiliar with the scoring, the team score is the sum of the top five places finishers for one’s team. As such it is an intricate mix of individual and team effort. Because of how the scoring works the 6th and 7th place finishers for a team can be critical to a team win by pushing the 5th place finishers of other teams down far enough to allow their team to win.

The point is every runner on the team is important to the competition. The same is true in our church communities. While pastors have the high-profile roles, we are all part of the body that does that mission.

One of our church’s tenants that we recite each week is to “Strive to give of our Time, Talents, and Resources.”  It is a reminder that each of us has a unique offering that is important to accomplishing the mission of “Making More and Better Followers of Jesus”.

This week think about what your gifts are. Share those gifts with others whatever they may be. You may think they are insignificant, but I assure you that they are not.

Physical Exercise challenge:  Lunges. Just like two weeks ago, subtract your age from 100. Do that many lunges on each leg each day.

Have a great week!
