Every part is a part of the body.
They body is designed to work together.

We are all made uniquely.
Be satisfied with how God made you.

All body parts are needed.
The body only functions well as a whole.
The body protects its weaker parts.
The body is inescapably joined.

We must all do our part.
We must protect each other.
Our joy and hardships are permanently linked to each other.

8. The members have various functions.
It takes the whole Church to accomplish God’s work.
There is a better way than they were functioning.

We all have a function in the church.
Nobody is exempt.
Find your design, and use it!
