Read: 1 Corinthians 14:26–40When we gather as the church, we aren’t just there to sit and watch. Paul reminds the Corinthians that everyone has something to contribute—a song, encouragement, teaching, or a spiritual gift. The goal isn’t to get attention for ourselves; it is to build one another up.Being ready to contribute doesn’t mean everyone has to do something on a stage. It might mean listening carefully, encouraging someone, serving behind the scenes, praying for a friend, or sharing what God has been teaching you. God has given each of us something valuable to offer.Paul also reminds us that using our gifts requires wisdom and self-control. Sometimes we need to speak up, and sometimes we need to make room for someone else. When we serve with humility and love, everyone has an opportunity to grow.Family Thought:God has given every person a part to play. Church isn’t just a place where we receive—it’s a place where we participate, encourage, and help others grow.Talk About ItFor Everyone:What are some ways you can contribute when your church gathers?Why is it important to make room for others to use their gifts?What is one way you can encourage someone this week?For Younger Kids:What is something you are good at that you could use to help someone else?How can you help someone feel included at church?For Teens:Do you tend to be someone who jumps in quickly or waits on the sidelines?
