How To Be A Healthier Church:

3. Are You at Waters Church? 

📖 1 Corinthians 12:14-15  ESV For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 

📖 1 Corinthians 12:17  ESV if the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 

📖 1 Corinthians 12:21-25  ESV The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
