Preacher: Jeremy Herbert

Theme:

Text: 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 4, Galatians 5

Notes:

Ephesians 4:15, We are not to hold to love (at the expense of truth),

nor hold to truth (at the expense of love);
both constitute a false dichotomy.

From 1 Corinthians 13:1-3:

  1. Being spiritually gifted is not enough
    • Exercising gifts apart from love is not beneficial to anyone, not even the one serving
    • Being biblically knowledgeable is not enough
      • Speaking the Word of God without the heart of God is not beneficial to anyone
      • Having great faith is not enough
      • Grand gestures are not enough
        • Selling all you possess to give to the poor
        • Giving your body through martyrdom
        • Yet if done without love these gestures are fruitless
        • Ministry without love is nothing
          • It does not benefit anyone
          • It does not glorify God
          • It may even be destructive

            •  

            Biblical love motivated by and empowered by the Spirit is glorifying to God and beneficial to others

            –and ourselves.

            Anything else is nothing.
