BY She Reads Truth
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.

I love that each of us are so important to the Body of Christ. I have friends who love to cook for others that need a meal, some that are in charge of a ministry, some who run crafts for women’s events, and on and on!! All these are done with love and passion for others. I love watching others use their talents and passions to serve others!

I have been gifted with many examples of Godly women in my life who show hospitality, service and kindness to others, and inspire me to do the same.

Not necessarily an observation and what I have seen but something that really stuck out to me in the reading. Since all people are not the same, the church can be a reflection of people individual connection with God. He did not create us all the same so therefore the church can take many shapes and still be valuable.

In my church I attended before I moved out of state I have seen the power of Christ working through the members and building homes for the homeless, feeding those that were hungry, providing for children that were less fortunate, and doing so many more amazing things.

As the secretary at my church I often see how each group is equally as important to the rest.
One part that got me was where it says we weep together and rejoice together. I’m going through a physically hard time right now with some unknown medical issues and I keep telling God how unfair it is that I’m going through this when others done have to. But I came across this verse and was reminded I need to rejoice with others good health, not envy it- just like others will weep with me for my health.

I recently joined a new church. I made a list of everyone I knew by name and I found music, hospitality, humor, working with children, learning, service, community, fundraising, strength, generosity, fun and respect, friendship, cooking, faith, and peace ♥️
