You only pumped the organ. The next night the organist gave another concert in the same town, and once again the same little boy worked the bellows behind the scenes. The opening piece of the concert was a beautiful piece by Bach. But as the performer masterfully attacked the notes of the second piece, the music suddenly stopped, his rapid fingering bringing nothing more than a faint clicking sound from the keyboard. Successful teams recognize the importance of every player regardless of their role.
Successful ministries value the contribution of every servant regardless of their assignment.
Every member isn t a pastor, but every member is called into ministry. Service in the body of Christ isn t optional for Christians. Every ministry is important. Not only is every ministry important, every ministry is also intertwined with the other. Since no single ministry can accomplish all the church is called to do, we must depend on and cooperate with each other.
