The church is the body of Christ. It's not the building itself, it's the people, the children of God. Look at it like an actual human body. Everyone, including you & me, have a specific job with a specific purpose. In other words, we all have a "spiritual gift." The Holy Spirit will work through you to help others grow in the Lord. Not everyone will be preachers or teachers. Not everyone can sing or play instruments. Not everyone can carry themselves as gracefully and loving to others as some. You will discover what your calling or gift is. Let God show you, yo.
*Just remember, it's NOT ABOUT US. It's all about Him, and His glory.*

Verses 4-6
"4) There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5) There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6) There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men."
Verses 12-19
"12) The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13) For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14) Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15) If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16) And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17) If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18) But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19) If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20) As it is, there are many parts, but one body."
Question of the day: What if every Christian was like me? Stop & ask yourself that today. (Verse 19-20)
