Ephesians 4:16 –
The body works effectively when every part does its share. This causes growth
of the body, so it can edify itself in love.
Every Christian
is responsible to do his best to accomplish the work of the local church and
fulfill his individual responsibilities before God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In nearly every
congregation, some members do most of the work while others do relatively
little. Sometimes we become comfortable with allowing other people to do the
work when we really should be helping.
From time to time
events in a congregation remind us that each Christian must consider whether
there are ways he/she can improve and accomplish more in the work of the
congregation. We should always be willing to examine ourselves, but some events
especially challenge us to consider our work.
The purpose of
this study is to consider the work of this congregation and urge each of us to
examine himself or herself to see if we can step up and do more.
