1 Corinthians Study: Unity and Diversity in the Body

S: 12:24 " But God has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other."

O: We the body of Christ need to have concern for one another and not consider one gift more desirable than another. The human body works best when all parts are functioning as they were meant to do. It is the same with the church body. Not all have the same gifts but working together we form the body of the Church.

A: Not only do I need to be using my gifts, others in the body of the Church need to be using their gifts also. We need to be aware of this principle and also that each one of us affect the Church as a whole. We need each other.

P: Lord, you have established the body of the Church giving spiritual gifts to each of us to build up Your Church. May our actions produce good fruit and strengthen the body, the Church.
