Better Together

Anna Lee - June 21, 2026

Different is good.

“Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of services but the same Lord, and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.”

1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (NRSVUE)

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (NRSVUE)

The Church is the Body of Christ. 

“All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.”
1 Corinthians 12: 27 (NLT)

Healthy churches know they need each other. 

Healthy churches respect each other.

Healthy churches support each other.

“I ask not only on behalf of these but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

John 17: 20-23 (NRSVUE)
