Holy Spirit empowerment is crucial for effective ministry, highlighting the need for believers to receive the Spirit to fully fulfill God's work.

Caring for the whole person means meeting both spiritual needs through teaching and physical needs by providing aid, as the early church did during a famine.

The local church needs to be compassionate and serve others, while trusting in God's power to bring healing and perform miracles.

1 Corinthians 1:10-17 teaches believers that our primary identity and unity comes from Christ. In Christ, we are one family, embracing our differences and each responsible for maintaining harmony and unity within the body of believers.
