Introduction
Topic: Church Systems that Contribute to Church Growth
Text: Romans 12.3-5; 1 Cor.
12.12-14
Why “synergos”
we are “fellow workers” with God
we want to emphasize “togetherness” in ministry
God wants us to work together - not separately
in order to work together, we have to understand each other’s calling and giftedness
The Ministry as a Body
The Church is a spiritual body composed of Spirit-filled men and women
The ministry is the visible side of the Church
The ministry is what the Church does
The ministry is what the world sees
Composed of different parts (members)
All parts are “joined to each other”
All parts have specific functions
All parts contribute to the body
All parts belong to a “system” that play a critical role to the body
Systems of the human body
digestive system
nervous system
skeletal system
circulatory system
plus 6 more
when all systems function properly, you have a “healthy” body
when the body is healthy, it grows and performs properly
