GET IN THE GAME: EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY

Get in the Game

Everyone has a role to play

1 Corinthians 12:12-27

God created me to be a , not a

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 

1 Corinthians 12:27

1.I to Something

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—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free… 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

God’s Church isn’t a , It’s God’s

We are God’s

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 

1 Corinthians 12:27

2. I have a role to play

Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 1 Corinthians 12:15-16

I’m Unique By God’s

But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 1 Corinthians 12:18

I’m Unique For the Church’s

If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 1 Corinthians 12:17,19,20

3. I am

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!” 1 Corinthians 12:21

My role is extremely

On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. 1 Corinthians 12:22-23

My role

But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 1 Corinthians 12:24-26
