Love: A More Excellent Way

"

The Corinthian church was looking at their personal giftings and place in society as a way of finding their identity, prominence, and value. But Paul says there is a much better way to find those things, and a much better way to use our gifts, and that is the way of love. We could be the most talented and gifted people in our community, but if we are not doing things out of love, it is nothing. ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES: Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
