Have you ever held a newborn baby boy? That baby is a bundle of joy for its parents, but in reality he is
also a bundle of something else. He is a bundle of perfectly formed, highly intricate systems that are already at work keeping him alive. Thanks to the systems God created him with such as the circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, nervous system, skeletal system, muscular system, integumentary system, Endocrine system and the Excretory system; this child is fully functioning and ready to grow as he starts his journey into life.
God is into systems. He organized the universe with systems. He created our bodies with systems. The Apostle Paul acknowledged this as a parallel to the Church in 1 Corinthians 12:25 when he said, “The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church.” The Apostle Paul was helping us wrap our minds around the “how” of Church life and its function in our daily lives. Not only must the Church be real and relevant, it must also be the body of Jesus Christ, its Head! The Church must function just as our own human body functions.
Join us Nov. 7th for the kickoff of our newest message series Anatomy 101 and discover how the health of our “systems” reflect the “health” of our Body, the Church!
