(need yard stick & tape) OPENING: You may remember a few years ago when Snoopy, the lovable beagle in the Peanuts cartoon, had his left leg broken. Hundreds wrote letters to Snoopy or sent sympathy cards. Snoopy himself philosophized about his plight one day while perched on top of his doghouse ...read more

We are meant to be active participants in the Body of Christ, and God has assigned each one of us a function in the Body.
At conversion - God incorporates us into the Body. He puts us in a community relationship w\all believers, and we share a common life in Christ. We are not meant to be passive participants - eg.

The Need and purpose as individuals in the Body of Christ
The Body of Christ For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ...read more

Denomination: Apostolic
What does it mean to speak the truth in love? And how does that relate to Christ being the head of the church?
Ephesians4- The Body Interesting word “instead”! It is a transition word that cannot stand by itself because the question is begged to be asked “Instead of what?” The past couple of weeks we have been parked here in Ephesians 4 and today our focus begins with Ephesians ...read more

We, as a church, are the body of Christ. Are we functioning as we should?
THE BODY OF CHRIST 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 INTRO: The producers of our church literature are always anxious to receive evaluations of their product by those using them. Some is good, some bad. One comment was: "Why all this talk about the Body of Christ in our ...read more

Ephesians 4
THE BODY OF CHRIST (EPHESIANS 4) I accepted Christ when I was 17 in a mid-size church. Our church did not have a pastor since the last one left a few years ago before I accepted Christ.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:33-49
Denomination: Methodist
We need to stop the dividing of the Body for carnal reasons. You cannot believe that Jesus is pleased with our dissecting His Body for our selfish agendas.
For those who follow me, you know every morning I listen to the pastor of Times Square Church in NYC. The congregation of over 8K are from 100+ nationalities. That is deemed impossible by common consensus of church people who say we need seeker churches adapted to various subcultures and ...read more
Scripture: Acts 2:44-47, Romans 15:20-21
This body we dwell in is the first part of man that God made. Man was a body before he was anything else. As Paul says in verse 46, the natural comes first than the spiritual.
I don't care how widely traveled you are, I know you have never sailed among the Island of Langerhans, or drifted lazily down the Aqueduct of Sylvius. Nor have any of you ever strolled along the banks of Hunter's Canal, or watched the sun go down behind McBurney's Point. None of you ...read more
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:35-49
The Church is described as the Body of Christ to stress the connections that we all have to one another, as well as our response to the direction of the head, Jesus Christ.
For the next several weeks I’m going to be preaching a series of messages called “A God’s Eye View of the Church.” In these sermons we’re going to be taking an up close and personal look at what God wants the church to be, and hopefully an honest appraisal of who we really are. Now I want to be ...read more

Today, we turn our hearts and minds to a topic that is as enigmatic as it ...read more
Topics: Resurrection Body, Believers
Paul tells us all to know our spiritual gifts and know how to use them for the common good of the church. We also need to know that we all have different gifts but this is God’s plan and it’s a good thing to have diversity. We also need to know that each
Series: What is the Spirit saying to the church? I received the idea for this sermon at International House of Prayer during my spiritual retreat there.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:1-30
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
The first sermon in this series looks at what it means to be a body.
A Healthy Body So, how do you feel about your body? Strange question isn’t it? Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do we probably don’t think very complementary things. It’s too fat or too skinny, too short or too tall. Bumpy, lumpy or just plain ugly ...read more
