Community. It’s a place where we share interests and goals with other people. Once we are joined with other believers in Christ, we share the same Spirit and heritage. These truths are the foundation of the Scripture we will explore this week and are also found in the song “No Man Is An Island” by Tenth Avenue North.
This week, we learn that we are not an island unto ourselves; we are part of something unique…the body of Christ.
In this episode, I discuss the following:
- The poem by John Donne that the phrase “no man is an island” comes from
- One Body with Many Parts – 1 Corinthians 12:12-26
- The number and variety of the members of the body of Christ
- The various duties represented in the body of Christ
- The intimate connection the body shares
- The common importance of the members of the body of Christ

This Week’s Challenge
Read 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12 for yourself. Stay right there in the areas that talk about the body, or venture out into the gifts, roles, and behaviors discussed in both letters from Paul.
