The Bible compares a church, the assembled people of God, to a body. So the question is, are there any members within THAT body, the body of Christ, who serve no purpose? Or do some of us just have a hard time seeing our purpose in the body of Christ at the moment? Maybe you have asked at times: why does the body of Christ even need a member like me? Or maybe you are in a place of weakness right now, or feeling unseen, or maybe you are wanting to do more. We will see from our passage today that every member of the body of Christ, from the quietest to the most visible, has a role, a spiritual gift given to them by grace for the purpose of building up the body of Christ.
