A preeminent love to Christ is an irresistible response to the Spirit's

work of pouring the Christ's love into our hearts. Those who love Him also

long for His return. All who lack such love are to be accursed.

The gospel produces joyful generosity in every believer's heart in support of the advance of the gospel. This passage shows us how local churches are to embrace and exercise such glad-hearted giving.

This passage teaches us that the glorifying power of Christ’s resurrection will be applied instantaneously to every believer’s body upon His return. Until then, we are to labor for the gospel with this certain hope.

The climactic event of the gospel is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This sermon seeks to glory in Him by showing what God’s Word has to say about the benefits His people receive from union with our Risen Redeemer.

Nothing is more important news for sinners than the gospel. Nothing.

Absolutely nothing. That’s what this sermon is all about.

If there’s no order in the church the least pleased person is God. Worship

ought to be ordered around a “gospel liturgy” with Christ Jesus at the very

center of it all. By this God is glorified and the saints are edified.

Ever since sin entered the world, there has been no shortage of

self-professed prophets and spiritual shyster. The church at Corinth had

fallen pray to misuses and abuses of these good gifts. What is the biblical

doctrine of prophecy? What is tongues-speaking?

One day faith and hope will vanish into sight when we are finally glorified

in the presence of our beloved Savior. But even then, love will remain.

This sermon will shine the light on the love of God, and the truth that God

is Love.

Because Christ is an unlimited supply of blessing to His people, His people

are endowed with spiritual gifts to exercise for His glory and the

upbuilding of His church. This sermon will build on last week’s sermon to

continue unpacking this often controversial truth.
