We all have a part to play
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function,
so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all
belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for
doing certain things well. Romans 12:4-6
In a successful team each member has a crucial role to play. If one is not pulling their weight or another is looking for all the limelight then the team will never reach its potential. There will be in fighting and jealousy and arguing from both sides. But if the team works together and each sees everyone else for what they are good at, then success is easier to come by.
Do you feel a part of the body of Christ?
Do you feel part of a team?
Well the church is like a team, except in a much higher league and for a greater trophy.
The reward of a successful team as a church, is families and individuals being brought closer to God for eternity.
Are we all called to do the same tasks, should we all be conformed to a certain style or model? Of course not Christ has made us unique with individual and specific callings and we can’t expect everyone to do every different thing.
On the other hand we have to remember, that we have a part to play, all of us can get involved with each aspect of the church.
We may be front line, we may be working behind the scenes, but we are all serving the same objective. Bringing glory to God.
As we have been on the streets with the door to door witness or working on the shops with the outreach to the teenagers. What is clear, is that we need the support of the church to hold us up in pray. Many of us may find this part of church activities hard, where as others find it is what they are called to do.
But each of us are called to work for the gospel. To spend time praying for the youth ministries, for the outreach is being part of the team. And we need prayer as much as a football team needs a goalkeeper. I believe God is going to do something special on this estate, even more than he has already done, but the church has got to unite together in prayer and action, working as a team.
If you feel challenged, come and join us on the estate, pray for us, get involved in some way and together lets build this community for God. Remembering above all, that it is Christ, who is our captain. He is an infallible leader.
