This sermon, drawn from 1 Corinthians 3:10–23, calls the church to a vision of healthy, Christ-centered community where every believer recognizes their irreplaceable yet non-essential role in the body of Christ. Grounded in the truth that Jesus is the only foundation, the message emphasizes that all spiritual work must be built upon Him, with each person's service tested by fire—only what is eternal in value enduring. The preacher uses the 'bus test' to challenge congregants to reflect on whether their absence would be deeply felt, not because they are indispensable, but because their unique gifts and love make them invaluable to the family of God. The sermon underscores that true health in the church lies in mutual interdependence, where every member—whether teaching, serving, or simply loving others—contributes to a community that reflects Christ's love in both word and deed. Ultimately, the goal is not personal achievement but the collective glorification of Christ, as the church becomes a living temple where God's presence is made visible through sacrificial, enduring love.
