The Body of Christ and Me
The Body of Christ is a powerful, dynamic, living body made up of many functioning members. What is your role? What part do you play? What are your gifts? How do you discover your gifts and role?
Synergy - the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
1 Timothy 4:12-15 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress ay be evident to all.
2 Timothy 1:6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
