I use the imagery of a body with members to describe myself and my church. The emphasis is that every member supplies something essential. Neither body parts nor believers operate in isolation. Each will die if separated from the whole. Do you think of the whole as being your local church? But I said that there was only one body, with myself as the head. The concept can and should be extended to my church as a single entity. Is your church connected to other churches, even those outside the same denomination and tradition? Your adversary works hard to prevent this, but these unusual alliances open doors for the power of my Spirit to move.
I’m leaving town for a few days and will resume messages when I get back.
