About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of the Body of Christ as described in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Christ is the Head of His church. And those who belong to His church are one, gospel-created, global people.But that’s not all that can be said about Christ’s church. Yes—His church is global. But—His church is also local. This is where 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 helps us by talking about the local church as a body. When you are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, you are united to Christ’s global church. But—you are not just a detached part of a global whole. In Christ—you are a vital part of a rooted, local body of Believers. This means something for us as we move forward into the new chapter God has for our church. Main Idea—The local church is the body of Christ in one place where every member is necessary, different, and called to care for one another.
