1st Corinthians 13:1-13 “Love Personalized”
Today we talk about love. Love is what drives us to be willing to do the things that we do in Christ. Love is what should motivate us to want to share our spiritual gifts with the church.

Much like the old groundhog, many of us like to stay hidden. In fact, many of us even try to make the claim that we don’t have anything to offer. Well today it’s time to shine a little light on this subject of spiritual gifts.
Paul talks to the church about what it looks like to put all these spiritual gifts together working for the church. All this great stuff we are finding out about our gifts has a purpose. We are to be at work serving the church together in unity. How do we become that image of one body with the mind of Christ Paul speaks of? Well, today we unwrap the answers. You got gifts!
The point of the message today is that you are a unique person created by God with grace filled gifts for the good of the Christian community. It’s a beautiful thing when we put that all together and start moving together as a church.
Jesus could have displayed all the power of God on this earth but instead he chose to take on the character of a servant. Jesus chose to walk humbly and die the worst imaginable death. Jesus chose the cross and he chose it because he loved us. We will look at what it means for us to take on the characteristics of humility.
