BIRDS OF A FEATHER...

Romans Chapter 12 Verse 3-8 says:

"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you; Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.  We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.  If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.  If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."

I submit to you: if the old addage is true, birds of a feather flock together, then perhaps each church in our community of believers is strongest at one of these motivational gifts.  Imagine what God could do if we just learn that each church has a part to play in the body of Christ and start working together to form one cohesive body, rather that claiming our church or denomination is better! How would our community respond?  Where does your church fit into this?  Remember the common bond between us, that is Christ saved us by his grace and mercy by dying on the cross for our sins.  Lets start there! 

Remember to pray for our Flagstaff Christian Church family this week.
