We continue our dissection of 1 Corinthians 13 by looking around how love is not easily angered. When our frustrations are not kept in moderation, we allow ourselves to give the enemy a foothold, not operating out of godly love but out of our carnal flesh through anger. In this sermon, Pastor Matthew will teach how Christ set the appropriate example, and how, through His willing sacrifice, Jesus satisfied God's justified wrath against our sin.

Love is kind... How is love expressed through kindness? Why does kindness highlight the maturity of a person's character?

There are very few who would doubt the spiritual credentials of someone who would give away everything they have to the poor, or give up their life in dramatic martyrdom. However, if the motive behind such actions are centred on one's boasting and pride, instead of godly love, they ultimately gain nothing. Join Pastor Matthew as he preaches on 1 Corinthians 13:3.

When we think of the gift of prophecy, most will associate it with some form of future telling. But is this always the case? In the second part of our series in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Matthew will unpack the function of the gift of prophecy within the church, which is ultimately to proclaim a message from God in order to strengthen, encourage, and comfort the Lord's people.

What makes a church mature? Is it in the size of its congregation? Is it dependent on how often we pray? Is it through the display of Spiritual gifts? Is it seen in the absence of hardship? As Pastor Matthew embarks on a study of 1 Corinthians 13, we will begin to understand that the single most important indication of a healthy church, or a mature Christian, is the consistent evidence of godly love (agape) at work in the lives of believers. Join us and be encouraged to follow the most excellent way.

If you had the opportunity to ask God for anything, what would be on your wish list? Maybe we would say, “I want enough money so I never have to work again.” Or perhaps we would say, “I want to be famous and widely known.” However, do these things reflect the heart of God?
