1 Corinthians 12:21–26 (ESV)

21 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. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

You Play a Part

Whether you’ve been a member here for decades or a visitor for just a few weeks — you play a part.
Whether you are young or old, rich or poor, working or retired — you play a part.

Guess what? We need you to play your part!

It’s easy to sit on the sidelines of faith — to attend, observe, and absorb religious activity without ever engaging in it. But Scripture doesn’t describe a spectator version of Christianity. The believers we see in the Bible are active participants in God’s mission — living in response to the work of Jesus on the cross and in the tomb. That doesn’t mean we are perfect, but it does mean we are purposeful.

At FBC Farmers Branch, we don’t need fans — we need players.
We need you to use your God-given gifts, personality, and experiences to invest in this church family. God has uniquely gifted you and intends for you to use that gift for the common good and for His glory.

So remember this truth:
👉 You play a part, and your part matters.

I want to challenge you — respond to this email and share one way you’re serving or feel God leading you to serve. That could be in our church, in your home, in the community, or at your workplace. Let’s celebrate the many ways God is working through His body — through you.
