Intentionally Act
- Reread 1 Corinthians 13:8-13. Reflect on your view of love and how love is displayed in your own life. How could the outflow of love from your life be improved or increased by what is stated about love in this chapter?
- Reflecting on vs. 4-7 also; how impossible is biblical love without the impact Christ has made in your life? Pray for an increased emphasis on love in your heart and life.
- Reflecting on the duration of love, as portrayed in this chapter; what level of hope is offered here, through love? What part does love and the duration of love play in the Gospel?
- Pray for the impact of this passage on your own life as well as the lives of our entire congregation.
- Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; practice the songs, study the lyrics and sing together.
