Great Sermon Today At Church Romans 12,1-8

Our minister preached on the body having many members and all members have not the same office. Verse 5, So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. The main theme of his sermon was,"to keep all the members in place." The body cannot function well if some of the members are missing. Example. if the human body has a hand missing it does not function as well as if it had both hands. The same is true of other parts of the body. Since the church is called the body of Christ, the church functions better if every member is present and in place. The minister pointed out how if some of the members are missing the church becomes sickly, and cannnot be all that it could be if all the members were present. Is your church sick today, is my church sick today? I believe most churches are missing a lot of body parts. We are not speaking of those who have moved away, or because of illness are not able to attend, we are speaking of those who have dropped out, or don't come regulary, due to unfriendly attitudes by some who, (v,3) think more highly of themselves than they ought. The heart is a very important member of the body, but the heart could not operate if there was not blood flowing through it. Both are very important to the natural body. The big thithers are very important to the church, but according to Jesus, the little lady who gave three mites gave more than them all. She gave all she had. The talented singers and musicians are always a blessing to the ears, but the humble, "do the best I can of anything you ask," are often the biggest blessing to the heart. Our sermon was one this morning that I can cheerish for a long time. I hope that I have related part of it to you in a way that you can cheerish it also.
