Love is Jesus. He is love. To follow him means to learn to love like he does.

The most excellent gift is love. It is the governing principle of Church life and ministry.

Every member of the Church is important to God and the fulfillment of the mission. Each person has gifts to be used in the Lord's service.

The Church of Christ is one body with one head and many parts. He is the head, and we are the members, each with gifts to be used in concert with others' for his glory.

The Holy Spirit gives gifts to all according to the purpose of his holy will. The indicator of faith in someone is whether or not he or she professes faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord of Creation.

Like the Corinthians, we must examine ourselves when coming to the Lord's Table. We must come properly in faith and confession. If we don't, we will be guilty of profaning the body and the blood of Christ.

Paul asked the Corinthians what was wrong with them when they let their divisions impact the way they partook in the Lord's Supper. The rich ate their full and got drunk, leaving the poor with nothing to eat when they came to the Table, which is the place where the all-accepting grace of God is clearly seen.

Paul instructed the Corinthians about orderly worship. He began by instructing husbands and wives on maintaining their roles when worshipping God together. We should learn from his instruction too.

Like the Corinthians, we are to do everything we do for God's glory. We are to serve others and enjoy God's blessings in a way that testifies to His greatness.

We participate in the same body when we participate in the Lord's Supper. We should maintain our commitment to Christ and his body.
