Day 55
Today’s Big Idea: Value your role. You matter. Yes, you.
Key Verse: Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it (1 Corinthians 12:27).
Thoughts to Consider: The word you appears twice in today’s Key Verse. The first one is a plural, like when my southern friends say, “y’all” or “all y’all.” It refers to the church as a gathered group. The second “you” is singular—as in just you, by yourself. Both you’s matter. When we gather on Sunday to worship, fellowship and minister together, we are the body of Christ. When you’re all alone on Monday, or perhaps in an environment that’s neutral, even hostile to the gospel, you are just as much a part of the body. We are always connected to each other through Christ’s body. Never forget that, and be grateful.

About this Plan
This devotional is a companion to the book 100 Days to a Healthier Church, by Karl Vaters. Like the book, the principles laid out here are not one-time, quick-fix solutions. They are long-term principles—nudges, not jumps(the tortoise, not the hare.) It is divided into four main steps over 14 weeks. It works best when it starts on a Saturday, so this devotional is designed with that in mind.
