Have you ever tried to put something together, only to discover that one little piece is missing? You have all the other pieces, followed the directions, and you’re almost finished. But without that one piece, the whole thing just doesn’t work quite right.
In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds us that God invites all kinds of people to serve in His church, and to accomplish this He gives different gifts to different people. We don’t all have the same abilities, personalities, or opportunities to serve. And that’s a good thing! The Church needs all kinds of people serving in all kinds of ways. Whether it’s teaching, greeting, caring for children, running the technology, praying for someone, or quietly helping behind the scenes, God uses ordinary people and their gifts to bless others.
And here’s the important part: No one is an extra piece in God’s Church. Every one of us has something God can use, and every one of us has a place to serve in God’s church. Sometimes the first step is simply being willing to try.
That’s the heart of our core value, Everyone Serves. We don’t serve to earn God’s love or prove our worth. We serve because God has already loved us and given us everything in Christ.
