Belonging in the Body of Christ

This sermon explores the concept of belonging within the local church, using Paul's letter to the Corinthians as a foundation. Pastor Heather emphasizes that God has intentionally placed each person exactly where He wants them, both in life circumstances and within the church community. Drawing from the metaphor of the body, the message highlights that every member is equally valuable and necessary for the church to function properly. The sermon challenges believers to move beyond simply being welcomed to truly feeling they belong, understanding that unity requires recognizing both our own value and the value of others. Through practical illustration using a paper chain activity, the congregation experiences how interconnected they are and how the absence of even one person affects the whole body.
