100 Days to a Healthier ChurchSample

Day 51 (Sunday)

Today’s Big Idea: One body with many parts. If you’re new to this team and this is your first devotional day with us, welcome! You’ll find each day to be short, biblical, practical, and applicable to the task at hand—helping the church you serve become healthier in the next 50 Days.

Key Verse: Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12).

Thoughts to Consider: Our Passage of the Day is really the Passage of the Week. Every day, we’ll use this passage to learn how we, the church, can work together under the Lordship of Christ.

Today’s Key Verse tells us that the church of Jesus exists in both unity and harmony. Like your physical body has hands, legs, feet, blood cells, nerves, and a heart, the body called the church has different parts, too. While each body part does a different task, they all do something important, united under the head—that is Christ. We’re not all the same. We’re not supposed to be. But we all serve the body.

Take some time to reflect on and pray about your part in the body and to thank the Lord that no one else serves quite the way you do.
