North Platte Berean Church
Unity in Serving
All over the world today, we can see the 80/20 rule at play, where 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. It shows up in businesses, in clubs, and sadly…even in the church. But the truth is, there's no such thing as a Christian whose role is just sitting on the sidelines. The church is commonly called "the Body of Christ" because – just like in our physical bodies – Every Part Plays a Part. But how do we find our part to play? And how do we step into it well? Join in as we look at the necessity of Unity in Spirit, which leads to Unity in Serving and Unity in Generosity. Let's not be an 80/20 church, but a body where 100% of us play the part we were designed to play.
