Ephesians 4:11-12 ESV
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
As a body has multiple roles, the church - the body of Christ - has different members serving different functionalities. It is God who determines the role that one has, and equips us for service. Therefore, our duty is to find out our gifts and our place to serve in the church. Then we faithfully do it well, just as the eyes, the hands, the feet dutifully do their roles for the body. We also ought to do them quietly, without comparing to others. Serve faithfully and quietly our roles with our gifts like the members of a body as God has designed, that's pleasing to God and fit His ordinance.
