Paul is telling the church at Corinth they need to be united, not divided, so he is in the middle of telling them about how to act when they come together. After talking about the gifts of the Spirit and how these gifts are to bring unity to the body, he goes into telling them about a more excellent way...Love. Love is a noun but instead of using adjectives to describe Love, Paul uses verbs. Verbs are action words which means Love is an action, something that we do! DC Talk had it right when they sang about Love being a verb! We break down the ingredients of Love in today's episode.
1 Corinthians 13 is possibly the most well-known chapter in the Bible, and for good reason — it speaks for itself. Love is preeminent. The heart of our discussion is the second half, where Paul's argument is harder to follow: what does it mean that prophecy, tongues, and special knowledge are, in some sense, the milk of infancy? Growing in the Christian life may mean being consumed by fewer things, not more. The overriding principle Paul appeals to is one every child already knows.
Tina Turner sang a song in the 80s called, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Well, Tina, Paul says Love has everything to do with it and without Love, we are nothing but a noisy cymbal being smacked out of time and rhythm! It just doesn't make any sense and it standing out alone makng a bunch of noise. But when the cymbal is hit in the rhythmn of the song, it great adds an accent and sounds wonderful! Today's culture is full of people trying to stand out or make it on their own. They want to do their own thing and stand above the rest and will do anything to make it happen without any regard to anyone else. Paul says, "Love is..." and he explains what LOve actually is. Love is a noun in the Greek but it is described by Paul using a bunch of verbs. Verbs are action words so if we are Loving, then people should be able to see it and receive something from ou action.
Thanks to a question sent in by a loyal listener, we jump back into our series on What You Talking Bout Jesus and look at 1 Corinthians 13:13. It's an extremely common and often quoted verse, but what does it really mean? Why is the NLT version wrong? Great conversation, enjoy! www.theologyinthedirt.comtheologyinthedirt@gmail.com
When people hear 1 Corinthians 13, their mind immediately goes to “love” but is that what Paul is talking about in this chapter? Yes, he mentions it many times and explains what love is, but why is Paul explaining love to the church at Corinth? It is because they are divided, they are enjoying sin instead of fleeing from it, and they are boasting about their spiritual gifts given to them by the Holy Spirit. Did you know the words he uses to describe love are not adjectives? They are verbs meaning love is an action! Love is something we do on a consistent basis because Paul is going to say, “Love never stops!” Are you loving? You may be surprised to find out you aren't loving at all!
Join us this week as Pastor John helps us understand why everything should be done in love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ESV: 13 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 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 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 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 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. [scripture explanation] 1. Without love I am nothing and gain nothing - No matter how gifted I am, without love, I am nothing. No matter how much I give, without love, I gain nothing. 2. With love I have everything - With God's love working in me and through me, I have everything! - "The love of Christ compels us…" (2 Cor. 5:14). [How we should respond.] 1. God is patient with your progress - (Matt. 15:32-37) 2. God gives when you want to get - (Mark 10:35-36) 3. God doesn't keep score of your sins. - “True love never gloats at someone's failure, nor thrills at the thought of being able to lecture someone on his or her shortcomings. Love never relishes the opportunity to say, “I told you so.”" 4. God believes the best in you. - THE BEST IN YOU IS CHRIST IN YOU!
Love Does Not Dishonor Others, it is Not Self-Seeking | 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Rev Tyler Smith
We often hear 1 Corinthians 13 at weddings, but Paul wasn't writing about romance—he was addressing a divided church. In today's reflection, Andy explores the famous "love chapter" in its original context and shows why love is the greatest spiritual gift of all. Knowledge, faith, sacrifice, and even miraculous gifts mean nothing if they are not shaped by love. As followers of Christ, both our beliefs and our actions should ultimately lead us to love God and love our neighbor.Join us for our daily reflections.

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. talks about a topic as popular as it is misunderstood—love. Our society seems smitten with notions of love, but at the same time, we don't seem to live in a fairy-tale land of love and grace. What does real love look like? And once we understand it, how can we, tangibly, become more loving? A dive into 1 Corinthians 13 shows us the most profound, powerful, and counter-cultural description of love ever written.

Love is a word that is overused, abused, misunderstood, underutilized, and thrown around casually in our day. Paul, in writing to the Corinthian church, seeks to show them the most excellent way. The way of love. So what does this most excellent way look like, and how do we begin to live in such a way? Join us this Sunday as we seek to live the most excellent way.

"Communication is often viewed as the key to a healthy marriage—and for good reason. But Scripture shows us that healthy communication doesn't begin with better techniques; it begins with surrendered hearts. In this week's message, Pastor Russ reminds us that our relationships are meant to reflect Christ's love for the Church. As we surrender to Jesus and walk in obedience to his Word, our communication can bring healing instead of hurt, unity instead of division, and ultimately display the gospel to the world around us."
[6/28/2026] "Performance to Presence " comes from 1 Corinthians 13:1-6 and is the second sermon in our sermon series titled "Be One." It was preached by Pastor Nathan Nelson at Mission Covenant Church on June 28, 2026.
