Sunday: "One Body, Many Members"

CrossPointe,

Individual rights and civil liberties are at the core of American culture, but while these are wonderful priorities for governing society they can be debilitating for Christ-centered community.

This Sunday we'll continue our study of the spiritual gifts with a look at 1 Corinthians 12:12–31. In this text, Paul encourages the Corinthians to understand the deep interconnectedness that should mark the life of a local church.

Here are a few passages to help you prepare your heart for Sunday:

• 1 Corinthians 12–14 (Read these chapters slowly and often these next few weeks.)
• Philippians 2:1–11 (a beautiful text exhorting us to “one another”-focused humility, like Jesus exhibits)
• Romans 12:9–21

Grace and peace,

Brad
