Ministry and Growth
1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Acts 2:43-47
Devotional:
When the church devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, communion, and prayer, a beautiful thing happened: they ministered to one another, and the church grew. Not through marketing strategies or entertainment, but through the Spirit's power as they lived out authentic Christianity.
The early believers took care of each other's needs. They served one another. They functioned as a body—each part contributing to the health of the whole. This wasn't a program; it was a lifestyle. This wasn't duty; it was devotion.
You are part of the body of Christ. You're not a spectator watching ministry happen; you're a participant with a vital role to play. Whether you're a hand, foot, ear, or eye, the body needs you functioning in your God-given capacity. Your service matters. Your gifts matter. You matter.
Ministry flows naturally from a church devoted to the essentials. When people are grounded in Scripture, connected in fellowship, remembering Christ's sacrifice, and walking in prayer, service
