Why You Matter More Than You Think

Good morning,

Have you ever felt like you don’t belong? Or like your gifts don’t matter as much as someone else’s? Here’s the truth: you are an essential part of the body of Christ.

Scripture paints a beautiful picture of the church as a body, with every believer as a vital part. Just like each organ and limb has a specific role in the human body, you have a unique role to play in the body of Christ. When we embrace this truth, we not only find our purpose but also help cultivate a thriving community of faith.

This Week’s Focus: The Body of Christ

The church isn’t complete without you. Let’s explore how understanding your value as part of the body can transform the way you live and build relationships.

1) Every Part is Essential

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 12:21, “The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’” Similarly, no believer can say they don’t belong to the body, and no one can claim someone else is unnecessary. Every part matters. Whether you serve quietly behind the scenes or lead boldly in public, your role is critical.

Action Step: Take a moment to thank God for how He uniquely created you and ask Him to show you how to use your gifts in His body this week.

2) The Body Works Best Together

When each part of the body does what it’s created to do, the whole body thrives. If one part suffers, the whole body suffers. When one part rejoices, the whole body celebrates. This interconnectedness is what makes the church so powerful.

Action Step: Find a way to support another believer this week—pray with them, encourage them, or simply listen to their story.

3) Cultivating Community is Kingdom Work

Building community takes time, effort, and humility, but it’s one of the most rewarding aspects of faith. When we set aside competition and embrace each other’s differences, we experience a deeper, richer life in Christ.

Action Step: Look for someone who might feel overlooked or undervalued. Encourage them with a kind word or invite them into your circle.
