What is 'Church'?

No man is an island.

Here we have the Apostle Paul presenting a very familiar idea: The church as the 'Body of Christ'

We are all in this together.

The things we do, and the attitudes we bring, affect the environment of the fellowship

What do you think is the least important body part?

Here is the church here is the steeple, open it up and there's all the people.
Different aspects of how we effect the environment.
How what comes out of our hearts affects the environment around us.

Following Jesus' example, we are called to deny ourselves: Philippians 2:5-8

How do we 'deny ourselves'?
