1 Cor 12:11-27. Paul uses the example of the human body to teach about the unity and diversity of the church. He demonstrates that the church is a spiritual organism made up of individual gifted members who are joined to Christ’s life. But what is “body life” and how can we best experience it? 

Neh 2:11-20. Nehemiah shares with his fellow Jews what God had put in his heart and how God’s hand was with them. It was then that they strengthened their hands for the work. May we also, sensing God’s purpose and pleasure, prepare our hearts for the work in our local churches, communities, and beyond.
