Think about those last words: the church, the fullness of Christ on this earth. As those who have been saved by the blood of Christ, that is exactly what we represent. Without the church the world would never know the truth about God's salvation in Christ. If the church is to show Christ to the world, every member must be willing to do his or her part. The body simply will not function properly without each unit being involved.
1 Corinthians 12:21, 22 "The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the feet 'I don't need you!' On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be the weaker are indispensable." Have you ever taken the time to realize that you are indispensable in the kingdom of God? The church simply cannot be the fullness of Christ in the world unless every one of us accepts our responsibility in His body. As we look at involvement during the month of October please consider the way you can use your talents as apart of this congregation.
