Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
Paul uses a metaphor of the human body to describe the relationship between Christ and the Church. As the head of the body, Christ unifies the individual parts that serve distinct purposes.
Discussion Question: In what ways have you seen the beauty of unique gifts and perspectives in your experience with the body of Christ?
Take time to reflect on your Scripture reading and today’s question. Share what you are learning with others in the community in the comments.
My roommate first thought of an ear for me. They provide a lot of balance, understanding, they can hear things of beauty and things of warning and absorb information.
My roommate asked me what part of the body I think I am part of that symbolizes the way God uses me. I think that’s a great question! I’m curious to hear some of your answers!
Amen!! Praying for you!! That sounds amazing and I’m so happy that God is leading you down such a wonderful path!
I love this reading because it shows that we all have different purposes and ways to live out those purposes in Christ. For example, a small business owner may have the opportunity to share her testimony and the Word of God to people she meets and comes into contact with on a daily basis, more than a school teacher would. But that same school teacher may have the ability to show the gospel to some of her coworkers or even students. We all have people around us that we can reach, and we all have the ability to reach others that some other people cannot reach.
Amen!!
I have recently felt a calling to get involved in women’s ministry. To lead a bible study or a round table. I have told God, I’m not the person He wants for this, and start listing all the reasons as to why this couldn’t work. Yet, God keeps laying it back on my heart. I even had confirmation from a trusted friend who knew nothing of what I was thinking that I should go in this direction. Please pray for me as I go about my next steps and follow where God leads me.
AMEN
This reading was so powerful to me. I love the way that we have the potential to bring out the best in others as “the body”, even in our relationships and understanding of the Gospel. I love that I am part of a small group community that includes people from different denominations, Christian communities, and upbringing. We can truly help each other engage and ask questions and see things a different way. Additionally, as someone who is a teacher in their professional life, I want to work to see my children that I serve as members of the body and use that idea to bring us together as one.
