So True Devotional

What matters most in the Christian life? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explores 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 and Paul’s unmistakable answer: love must come first. Spiritual gifts, knowledge, sacrifice, and ministry may appear impressive, but without Christlike love, they ultimately amount to nothing.

Biblical love is selfless, costly, enduring, and patterned after Jesus Christ. It reflects the character of God, fulfills His greatest commandments, and marks genuine Christian discipleship. Discover why love is foundational to Christian living and how keeping this “first base” priority in place gives meaning and direction to everything else we do for God and others.
