October 2026 – ONE

Crystal Sturgill   -  

Romans 12:4-5 “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”

We are ONE! Everything that we do as a congregation can affect each other in a positive or negative way. There is no “I” in the body because as the scripture says, the body has many members. If we’re going to be a harvest church, and that is my only desire, we must continue to strive to operate as one, to think as one, and to function as one. We cannot think of self when doing something, we cannot look out for me and we cannot consider ourselves one against the other…because we are ONE.

If we can ever grasp the concept, then we will understand that we can hurt our brother or we can help our brother. As for me and my family, we want to be a help to our brother. I have learned that the stronger you are and the closer you are to the Lord, the greater benefit to me and my family.

I’m asking you to take the remainder of this year and pray that the Lord will teach us how to think collectively as a body, operate collectively as a body and function collectively as a body. To get “self” out of the way and to function as one because we are ONE.
