Look and see where your memberships are…Church or the World
– 1 Corinthians 12:25
Do you feel an obligation to the other members of the body?
Begin to yield yourself to the rest of the body
Quit thinking in terms of having your own life…
Instead, make sure to relate your life in terms of how you relate to others
– Hebrews 10
Make a committment to be a member
Consider the responsibilities of Membership
No schism in the body
One specific responsibility: Consider someone else and provoke unto love and good works
Don’t be a person who “joined” Church just for their own benefit. Join and be committed to other believers
Realize that you have responsibilities to others in Church
Failure to carry out those responsibilities is…failure
Be what God wants you to be so that you are able to help others
What do you do for Christ?
Going to Church is something a member does; it doesn’t make someone a member
The devil will try to convince you that Church isn’t a big deal.
Let God have your heart so you will be the Member you were created to be.
