Happy Valentine's Day

"It's All About Love"
1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1 - If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 - And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 - If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

(4 - 6) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

7 - Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 - Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

9 -10 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

11 - When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.


How much do you really love someone??? God loved us enough to give up His Son so we wouldn't have to sacrifice our sons and daughters. No more sacrificial death because Jesus was the ultimate Lamb who was slain. All God is asking us to do is love Him first then each other...it can really make all the difference in the world.

Don’t just pretend to love others -- really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.” Romans 12:9
