INTRO
2 lepers, one no hands, one no feet, one carried other
Planted seed so could eat – need each other
ALL ONE BODY v 12-13
Human body analogy
Band: many but play together or no good for any
Cricket: many players, but one team
Church = TEAM
ONE PART NOT MORE IMPORTANT 14-18
ALL PARTS DIFFERENT 19-20
Tools to make table different, all important
Church = different talents, gifs, all needed
ALL PARTS IMPORTANT 21-26
Not just pastors
My little toe hurt, affected whole body
Kits – paper, wood, string, tail, all important
Church = every person essential
NO PART NOT IMPORTANT 27
Biscuits: raw eggs, flour, salt, heat
(no good alone but great together)
Church = need each one
Pray, witness, help, gifts
Testimony, share food, help with children
Greet others, encourage hurting
Church = you need it
Teach, worship, encourage
Each person small light, together bright

Sequoias 4000 years old, 100 meters high,
Small roots but intertwined, can’t grow alone
