Some verses on my mind....

For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:4-8

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Ephesians 5:23

But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. Matthew 23:8

Observations:

"We, though many, are one body in Christ"....prophets, servers, teachers, exhorters, givers, AND LEADERS are all equals. None are closer to God, or hear more directly from God. None are separate from the body.

"Christ is the head of the church" AMEN!
