Every Member of Christ’s Body is Needed – 1 Corinthians 12:12-26
1) We have all been united into one Body.
2) Lies we are tempted to believe about the Body of Christ: ·I don’t belong/I am not needed Answer = God has given us each an important function in the Body.
·I don’t need them Answer = The parts that seem to be weaker, are all the more necessary.
3) There should be no division in the Body, rather equal love and care for every member.
