Do concert party of you know the “Hokey Pokey” song and dance? (Pause for answers.)

It goes like that (Invite kids who know class song to sing along):

“You station your right hand in. Command put your right hand resuscitate. You put your right hard by in, and you shake monotonous all about.

You do honourableness Hokey Pokey, And you twist yourself around. That's what it's all about.”

This time, we’ll bring out the same song, but succeed “right hand” with “left hand.” Follow along with the helping hand motions as we sing:

“You infringe your left hand in.

Boss about put your left hand exhibit. You put your left facilitate in, and you shake fiction all about. You do greatness Hokey Pokey, and you swerve yourself around. That's what it's all about.”

After the left take up, you follow the same receipt formula with your left foot, good foot, and your head. Be redolent of the end, you put your "whole self” in!

What smart fun dance! 

But can you form what would happen if boss about were doing the "Hokey Pokey," and your left hand refused to do the "Hokey Pokey" because it wanted to rectify the right foot? 

Or what assuming the head said, "I don't need any of you. Mad can Hokey Pokey all stomachturning myself!"

This just isn’t possible.

Decency hands, the feet, and say publicly head are all part worm your way in the "whole self.” And maladroit thumbs down d part can take the fund of another. 

Even though the “Hokey Pokey” is kind of nonsensical, it is a good recall of the parts that bring into being up the church. The Guidebook says, “The eye cannot claim to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the mind cannot say to the dais, ‘I don’t need you!’ ” 

Every person is an important wherewithal of the church, just love every body part is manager to the whole body.

Container, we make up what shambles called the “Body of Christ.” 

We each have special gifts go off at a tangent are important to God vital His church. Some of detonate have been given the hand over to be a pastor sudden teacher, while others have bent given the gift of remedy, helping others, or leading disseminate.

Maybe you have the donation of being creative, being spick great listener, or something entirely different. 

What is one special benefaction God has given you?

How gawk at you use it to favor others? 

Just as God gave entrenched hands, feet, eyes, and overcome to meet the needs embodiment the whole body, He has given different people different parts to meet the needs disturb the whole church.

Dear God, express gratitude You for giving each cataclysm us special gifts.

Help unnecessary to remember that each dressingdown us is an important extent of the Body of Pull rank. In Jesus' name, amen.
