We are all called to different tasks within the church, but we are all called to the same church. Paul's closing reminds us that although we meet with a relatively small group of people in our individual churches, we are not alone. There are other believers and other churches out there.
When a fellow believer visits our church or community from outside, we should welcome them and help them on their journey. We should not be standoffish or a clique. The work of the Gospel is not about our small circle of influence, it's about a world that doesn't know Christ. That world cannot be reached for Christ if we that are believers do not get along with one another.
