Both morning and evening sermons seemed to say the same thing, even though they were from different passages of the Bible, 1 Cor 12:1-16 and Eph 4:7-12, and different churches – Totterdown Baptist Church and Hounslow West Evangelical Church respectively.

A healthy church is comprised of a body of healthy Christians. Each Christian has been given the grace to serve in various ways, through various gifts and talents. A healthy Christian is able to see the gifts they have and use them within the church and in the world. Such a Christian is also able to determine where they do not have a gift, or where someone else is more gifted, and will allow that gifted person to use their gifts instead. Ultimately, in everything that happens, it is God who should be glorified and not ourselves, but through that, we are better off.
