Mystery – The Church as a Body (Ailments – Self Sufficiency)

This lesson continues our discussion of various ailments that have historically found a way of infecting the church body.  This lesson looks at how the sickness of self-sufficiency creates ill health and destruction within the body of Christ.  

We look specifically at how Paul’s message in 1Cor. 12:21ff points to the spiritual isolation that finds its roots in feelings of self-sufficiency.   Paul first issues a very strong warning against engaging in the practices of self-sufficiency.    He then moves on to give a strong command which destroys self-sufficiency by a divine proclamation for body members to mutually care for each other.
