How important it is to know and feel you are a vital part of a family or organization.  How important is it for you to be a trusted, vital part of the body of Christ which is the church of the living God?  This morning’s lesson focuses on the truth that each one of us who is a Christian is a vital part of the body of Christ which is His church!  As a member of God’s family it is important to participate in this body as a trusted member who is working hard to fulfill your calling in Christ Jesus.  This morning we will be reminded that the church, as it is described in the Scriptures, is the one and only body of Christ!  We will also discover that the leadership in each of the local fellowships of the body of Christ are to work to build each member of the body up so they may, each one, manifest the fullness of Christ’s character.  Finally, we will speak of the importance of each member making the commitment to grow up into Christ, fulfilling their calling, using their gifts, talents and abilities to build up the body of Christ in love!  In so doing the trust in and between members of the church will grow every stronger to withstand the challenges ahead of us.
