FBC E-Blast
 |
| Every day, you get out of bed, put on clothes, and walk to the table to eat breakfast. You greet the rest of the household and maybe read the paper. A few minutes later, you drive to work at 60 m.p.h. on a strip of asphalt where other vehicles can pass by within four feet. In the first hour or so that you’re awake, your body completes thousands of complex tasks that are so routine they go unnoticed.
Our physical frame is a creation of remarkable beauty and intricacy. And while certain parts seem more attractive than others, all are useful. The body's interdependent nature - that is, the way every part relies on other parts to perform properly - is an apt metaphor for a Christ-centered church. When believers use their gifts and talents to operate together lovingly, the whole body functions properly to the glory of God.
However, churches today are filled with people who feel insignificant. Upon seeing the successful work of others, they decide they're not really needed or assume they haven't got the "right" talents to make a worthwhile contribution. Those are lies from the Devil. When his misguidance succeeds - which is all too often—he manages to get one more Christian to back away in hopes that someone else will do the Lord's work.
Hanging back instead of seeking a place to serve is a form of thievery: you're robbing the Lord’s church - His people - of your unique contribution. Your role might be small or go unnoticed, but it is vital to Jesus Christ and to the smooth functioning of His body on earth.

Upcoming Sermon Series
The holiness of God describes both His majesty and the moral perfection of His character. In looking at our all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, perfectly holy God, we develop a better understanding of our Call to Holiness.
Last Week:
God wants us to make these changes in our finances for His glory! When we realize how much tomorrow matters, it should change how we live today, give today, invest today, and what we're faithful to. We talked about investing finances. What will you do?
Sunday's message is available for streaming or for download on our
sermons page, or by visiting us on iTunes.
Next Week:
We begin looking at our Call To Holiness at the starting point and we'll look at Psalm 8.
