“You can’t do life alone”

“As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.“ – 1 Corinthians 12:20-27

We held the last of our ‘We Believe’ series nights at Redefine.

It was yet another great night, where we looked at the importance for Christians to be in fellowship and community with each other.  We looked at how God had made it so that we had to work together to see His Kingdom come and will be done, both in our lives and the lives of our local community.

As a Christian ‘You can’t do life alone.”

The above passage from the apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth uses the metaphor of a body with its many different parts to illustrate this point. We need every part of the body functioning properly in its right place for the whole body to work.  If one part is missing or not working correctly, then the body will not function correctly.

We are all important in God’s kingdom and in His church, and we all have a vital part to play. In the human body we have some parts that are hidden and not very well known, such as the spleen.  However, without it our body would be much more susceptible to infection, amongst other things.

So too in the church.  If one part is missing, there is a life and vitality that is missing, and we all need to play our part.

A great opportunity for playing your part in the body of Christ is in prayer.  Supporting one another in prayer.

This coming Sunday we will be holding our monthly prayer meeting for the work of Llandudno Youth for Christ at Ty Llywelyn Community Centre and we would like to extend an invitation to you to come along and fellowship with us and as the write of the book of Hebrews says “let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.“

The prayer meeting we be held on Sunday 23rd October from 7-8pm.

We hope to see you there.
