Belonging to Christ's Body

Philippians 2:1-5

Belonging to something bigger than yourself brings an incredible amount of joy. Human beings are always looking for a group to feel connected with that has a common goal. This phenomenon is apparent in situations as light as fans at a football game or as serious as an Army platoon completing an operation. Individuals living isolated lives tend to be less fulfilled. When Christians embrace being a part of Christ’s body (the Church) and work together to further His Kingdom, we can experience the joy of belonging and fulfilling our purpose.

Questions for further thought:
1. How can you be more connected to other believers?
2. What does it mean to “have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had?” (v. 5)  

​Challenge: Of course, it’s easier to just stay home, but next time there is an event, group, or project happening within the Church that pulls on your spirit, go. People don’t regret being too involved with others; they usually regret sitting on the sidelines and being disconnected.
