VBS Day 2: The Church is the Body of Christ

Text: 1 Corinthians 12:12-26
Central Truth: Church members make up the body of Christ, with Christ being the head of the church.
Memory Verse: “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” - Ephesians 5:23
Objective: Explain how Jesus is the head of the church
Application: Believe the gospel so you can be a part of Christ’s body, the church
Lesson Summary: The church is not a physical building which people visit once or twice during the week. The church is the body of Christ, and He alone is the head of the church. Church membership is implied by the New Testament, and the church is made up of a variety of Christians who are given different spiritual gifts, Church members are clearly instructed to use their spiritual gifts to build up one another unto christlikeness, with the whole body needing to mature unto Him.

Prayer Time

The Bible identifies the church as being the body of Christ, with Jesus Himself as its head. It is not a building to worship God in. One must repent and trust in Christ as Lord and Savior in order to become part of His church.
