Presentation Transcript

  1. “Members Individually”(I Corinthians 12:12-27) I. “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.” (12:12). The body of Christ is formed by many individual Christian members. II. “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” (12:13). Diversity of function and ability is not diversity of doctrine.

  2. “Members Individually”(I Corinthians 12:12-27) III. “…Is it therefore not of the body?” (12:14-16). Diversity of function and ability does not make a part unconnected to the body. IV. “If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?” (12:17). Diversity of function and ability is necessary for a healthy body.

  3. “Members Individually”(I Corinthians 12:12-27) V. “But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased” (12:18). God Himself set up the church. VI. “ …The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you’…” (12:19-21). Christians cannot serve Christ acceptably cut off from one another.

  4. “Members Individually”(I Corinthians 12:12-27) VII. “No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary” (12:22). Necessary parts are not always the most visible parts. VIII. “ …God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it” (12:23-24). Christians should look out for each other.

  5. “Members Individually”(I Corinthians 12:12-27) IX. “…There should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another” (12:25). God wants unity among His people. X. “ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it” (12:26). We must develop the ability to empathize with one another.
