• 5, Body Language

Philippians 316-17

•  Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
  17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your
  eyes on those who walk according to the example
  you have in us.

We Have A Pattern!

2 Timothy 113

• Follow the pattern of the sound words that you
  have heard from me, in the faith and love that
  are in Christ Jesus.

We Have A Pattern!

Hebrews 85
We Have A Pattern!

•  They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly
  things. For when Moses was about to erect the
  tent, he was instructed by God, saying, See that
  you make everything according to the pattern that
  was shown you on the mountain.

6
We Have A Pattern for congregational Fellowship

• Romans 124-5
• For as in one body we have many members, and the
  members do not all have the same function, 5 so
  we, though many, are one body in Christ, and
  individually members one of another.

7
We Have A Pattern for congregational Fellowship

• 1 Corinthians 1016-17
•  The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a
  participation in the blood of Christ? The bread
  that we break, is it not a participation in the
  body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we
  who are many are one body, for we all partake of
  the one bread.

NOT denominational or individual, but a family, a
body!

Identity is found in...

abandon the team.

Romans 124-6

  individually members one of another. 6 Having
  gifts that differ according to the grace given to
  us, let us use them if prophecy, in proportion
  to our faith

The body has many parts and ALL have value.
17
Matthew 25

• For it will be like a man going on a journey, who
  called his servants and entrusted to them his
  property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to
  another two, to another one, to each according to
  his ability.

Everyone is gifted for stewardship
