FROM MY HEART TO YOURS…Pastor Michael July 2024
Those of you who have been in worship the past few weeks, know that I have been doing a series on “The Body of Christ” from 1 Corinthians, chapters 12, 13, 14. I came across this statistic, that is really amazing. Did you know that the Golden Gate Bridge in California is suspended from two massive cables? Each of the two cables is three feet in diameter, and each cable consists of 61 bundles of steel wire. Each bundle contains 452 wires, bringing the total number of steel wires in each cable to 27, 572. To the average person, it appears that the roadway is suspended from two large cables, but in reality, it is suspended from 55,144 tiny wires bundled together. There is strength in numbers. The apostle Paul promoted this truth when he used the illustration of the human body for the Body of Christ. Each cell in the human body is like an individual in the Church. Our faith and work is multiplied exponentially when combined with the faith and work of the whole body. Whether one wire in a cable, one cell in a body, or one believer in the church, all are important. May we all do our part in strengthening the body of Christ. There is no insignificant member in a church. (from “Design and Construction Stats”, Golden Gate Bridge. Highway and Transportation District and Michael J. Wilkins.) Have a Happy Fourth of July!!!!
