"But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other." I Corinthians 12:24-25
The Apostle Paul teaches us that, as the body of Christ, we are made up of many parts. Each part has a function and each function is indispensable. Certain parts, however, are less obvious than other parts. In our bodies, we don't see our kidneys, but they perform an essential function. The same thing is true in our church body. Certain roles of the church often go unnoticed. One of these roles is that of the sound team.
Each week, a member of the sound team is hard at work in the back to make sure that everything that is done in the service is heard by all. Running the sound system is not just a matter of turning knobs and pushing buttons; rather, it is an art that takes talent and experience to do well. And when it is done well, it goes unnoticed, because the attention is focused on what is happening up front.
The members of the sound team perform an essential function of our weekly service. Without them, every aspect of our service would be diminished. So, the next time you see a sound team member, let them know how grateful you are for their service, for "God has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that its parts should have equal concern for each other."
