Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 12
We are the body of Christ
Spiritual Body
Unity (one) + Diversity (many)
1 Corinthians 12:27
We are more than the sum of our parts.
Multiplication not addition
You are one
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
We are many
1 Corinthians 12:19-20
Functionality
Romans 12:4-8
One body… but we don’t all have the same function
We have been given different gifts
When we don’t live into those gifts we compromise the functionality of the body
Interconnectedness
1 Corinthians 12:15-16
We are connected and interlocked together.
We need each other.
We need community.
Interdependence
1 Corinthians 12:17-18, 21
We need each other and we need our differences.
Constructed by God
1 Corinthians 12:24-25
God has out the body together
…so that there would be no division in the body
United In Love

And l I will show you an even better way
