Description 

Synopsis:

• Romans 12:4-8 visually and metaphorically by zeroing in on the hands, feet, eyes, ears, and mouths of people representing a cross-section of ages and racial groups.
• Wide screen format gives the presentation a movie quality feel.
• By showing part of the face (for instance and ear) rather than the whole face reiterates the point that we are “part” of the body.

• Text superimposed on screen appears as follows: Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body and each member belongs to all the others we have different gifts according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve. If it is teaching, let him teach. If it is encouraging, let him encourage. If it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously. If it is leadership, let him govern diligently. If it is showing mercy, let him do so cheerfully. Romans 12:4-8.
• Excellent production quality.

Application:

• Great encouragement for everyone—because we are all part of one body and each one has a gift or talent to serve.
• None of us can function alone—we are all dependent upon God and interdependent upon one another to achieve His will for our lives.
• The world knows us by our love for one another—therefore unity in the Body of Christ is important.

Suggested Uses:

• Appropriate for Bible study on the Body of Christ
• Also appropriate to exhort members to become involved in the ministries of the Church
