Paul continues to discuss generosity and how generosity feeds our capacity for good works.

We would like to assume that every kind of love is the same or just because someone says I love you that they mean the same thing we do. But unfortunately love is not love. Loves look different. But there's only one love that is constant and that's God's love.

Paul leads the Corinthians, and us, to view our resources a little differently.

Paul reminds the Corinthians that God has called them to something much bigger than they might think and transformation is important.

Our readings today are all about bible. How do you take in the bible? Is it just a passing thing or is it something that really shapes everything about you? Jeremiah and Jesus both share how the Bible is the thing that needs to shape us most in life.

Paul reminds us that living the life of Christ should make us function differently in the world.

The message of the gospel is amazing and wonderful and brings light to all people. The cool part is it's not about us. God can work through some broken messes to shine his light.

There's a trend happening today where we only speak the things we like. Jesus tells us that's not how this works.

Paul draws a pretty nice distinction between the law and the gospel. It's something from which we can learn a great deal.
