We often forget that the body of Christ comes together to serve, not receive. Here is a Scriptural reminder of that truth.

Ephesians 4:11–13 (NIV) — 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
