WRAPPED IN LOVE! Back to school pt 9, 11/24/19,

1 Co 12:31-14:1, INTRO: Paul explains the use of

spiritual gifts to very young, yet active new ch with no

real ch experience. It seems the ch was in a learning

curve on how to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. In

this season of gift giving, it is appropriate to talk

about gift giving also. In my family growing up

Christmas presents were always wrapped up, half

the fun of Christmas. Unwrapped was not very

exciting. Paul is teaching that; all the gifts of the spirit

should be wrapped up in LOVE. We are to avoid

operating in the gifts for self-gratification or a self-

serving prideful manner but to humbly approach the

gifts with a willingness to help others.

Prop: Gifts wrapped in love are the best!
