One Body, Many Important Parts!
Welcome, Faith Force Body Parts! Today, we’re learning how many different people make one amazing team, as shared in 1 Corinthians 12:12-14.
Verse Of The Day:
"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." (1 Corinthians 12:12-14)
Have you ever thought about how amazing your body is? Your hands, feet, eyes, ears, mouth – they’re all completely different, but they work together perfectly! Paul teaches us that God’s family works the same way!
“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” Your body has MANY different parts – hands that grab, feet that walk, eyes that see, ears that hear – but they all make ONE body! The church (God’s family) is the same way. We’re all different people with different gifts, but together we make ONE body of Christ!
“For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body.” Even though we’re all different, the Holy Spirit connects us together into one team! “Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.” A body can’t be all eyes! It needs hands, feet, ears, and every other part. Same with God’s family – we can’t all be the same! We need people who teach, people who help, people who encourage, people who serve, people who give – all different, all important!
Here’s the amazing truth – YOU are an important part of God’s body! Your unique gifts and abilities matter! We need what YOU have to offer!
My Body Part Badge:
Draw an outline of a body on paper and label different parts with different gifts: “Hands – Helpers,” “Feet – Servers,” “Eyes – Notice Needs,” “Ears – Good Listeners,” “Mouth – Encouragers,” “Heart – Lovers.” Which body part are YOU in God’s family? Make yourself a badge showing your part! Remember – every single part matters, and we all need each other to make ONE complete body of Christ!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for making us all different parts of one body! Help us remember that everyone's gifts and abilities are important. When we're tempted to think our part doesn't matter, remind us that the body needs EVERY part. Help us work together as one team for You! Amen.
Keep being your important part of the body, Faith Force Body Parts! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that one body has many parts, and every part matters!
