Eldership and Membership
At this morning service we had the joy to ordain and install a new ruling elder and receive a new member in our church. This passage deals with both eldership and membership, even while proclaiming a wonderful truth: Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Listen in to this sermon as we consider the Christians’ relationship to the leaders Christ gives his church, and to learn about the role of elders to live and preach Christ.

Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

The last several weeks we have been talking about Christ’s vision for his church. We’ve talked a lot about the ministry of the church. We’ve said that this ministry needs to be an ordinary means of grace ministry. And one thing that has been a bit assumed as we’ve talked about the church is that the church is made up of members. A biblical vision of the church sees that the church is made up of believers who are united together in Christ. Paul in this passage gives us a picture of biblical church membership, using the illustration of the human body.
