In a world where people are more connected than ever yet feel increasingly isolated, God offers something we all long for: to be fully known and deeply loved. In "Everybody Matters" from our “Known” series, we explore how God has uniquely gifted every believer to build up the body of Christ.

Church isn't a place where a few gifted people minister to everybody else; it's a body where everybody ministers. You aren't just given a place to belong—you have a part to play, because if you belong to Jesus, God has given you something His body needs!

SCRIPTURE:

• Ephesians 4:7-16 (CSB)

7 Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the Messiah’s gift.

11 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.

16 From Him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.

THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAY:

• If you belong to Jesus, God has given you something that His body needs.
