00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.219
 1,153, 1 Corinthians 13.

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:16.240
 Okay.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:17.460
 Love.

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:21.199
 And now I will show you the most excellent way.

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.839
 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love,

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.740
 I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:39.500
 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:46.840
 and if I have a faith that can move mountains but have not love, I am nothing.

00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:54.879
 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames but have not love,

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.040
 I gain nothing.

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:00.179
 Love is patient.

00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:02.740
 Love is kind.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.100
 It does not envy.

00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:07.420
 It does not boast.

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:09.859
 It is not proud.

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.460
 It is not rude.

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:15.359
 It is not self-seeking.

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.960
 It is not easily angered.

00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:22.200
 It keeps no record of wrongs.

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:29.060
 Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

00:01:30.020 --> 00:01:37.260
 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:40.840
 Love never fails.

00:01:41.740 --> 00:01:44.600
 But where there are prophecies, they will cease.

00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:48.079
 Where there are tongues, they will be stilled.

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.760
 Where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.019
 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.560
 But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:05.239
 When I was a child, I talked like a child.

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:07.180
 I thought like a child.

00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:09.819
 I reasoned like a child.

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:14.539
 When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:19.519
 Now we see but a poor reflection, as in a mirror.

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:22.859
 Then we shall see face to face.

00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:26.079
 Now I know in part.

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.680
 Then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.620
 And now these three remain.

00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:37.719
 Faith, hope, and love.

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.159
 But the greatest of these is love.

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:54.240
 Thanks very much, Mary.

00:02:54.359 --> 00:02:58.319
 Well, please keep your Bibles open there to 1 Corinthians 13.

00:03:00.259 --> 00:03:01.780
 And we're going to pray.

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:01.859
 Amen.

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:23.199
 The greatest of these is love.

00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:28.500
 Father, please will you teach us afresh

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:33.800
 what it is to be a loving people,

00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.379
 a loving church together.

00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:42.719
 Father, please show us, Father,

00:03:44.060 --> 00:03:47.879
 how we can serve one another in love

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:54.280
 so that the church is built up in faith,

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.840
 that it is motivated to reach out to our wider community,

00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:08.599
 and that together we would become the holy church of God

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.379
 that you have called us to be.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:16.360
 Father, may everything that we look at this morning

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.959
 be done in love

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.959
 so that we are encouraged and strengthened.

00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:31.719
 we ask for your help to us today.

00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:32.919
 In Jesus' name.

00:04:33.799 --> 00:04:34.219
 Amen.

00:04:40.099 --> 00:04:42.919
 Well, it seems the church in Corinth

00:04:42.919 --> 00:04:46.979
 had everything they needed.

00:04:47.899 --> 00:04:51.500
 If you go back to chapter 1, verse 4,

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.060
 in his introduction,

00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:58.519
 we'll see there that they had everything

00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.620
 that they could possibly need.

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:03.860
 1 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 4.

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:11.500
 I always thank God for you,

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.500
 so he's thanking God for the church,

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:18.019
 because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:21.099
 For in Christ,

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:25.579
 you have been enriched in every way.

00:05:27.799 --> 00:05:28.899
 Verse 7.

00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:35.180
 Therefore, you do not lack any spiritual gift

00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:39.259
 as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:40.899
 to be revealed.

00:05:42.019 --> 00:05:43.819
 The church in Corinth

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:47.379
 were a very gifted church.

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:50.519
 But for all of their gifting,

00:05:52.099 --> 00:05:54.599
 it was a church that was in a mess.

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.639
 Go back to chapter 12.

00:05:58.599 --> 00:06:01.759
 It seems that whenever the church gathered together,

00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:04.699
 they were measuring their spirituality

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:06.799
 according to their gifts.

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:10.339
 So, if you could heal someone

00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:11.959
 or work miracles,

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:15.039
 and especially if you could speak in tongues,

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.860
 you were thought of as superior.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.040
 You were above everybody else.

00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.420
 You were treated with greater value.

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.879
 And of course, everybody else,

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:30.280
 those whose gifts they deemed as ordinary,

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:32.879
 like welcoming or set up,

00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:35.560
 were considered of no value.

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.100
 And you were made to feel inferior.

00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:42.139
 And this kind of thinking was destroying

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:44.060
 and dividing the church,

00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:45.680
 and it needed to be corrected.

00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:48.379
 So look at chapter 12, verse 18.

00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.420
 He reminds the church

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:54.459
 that in fact God has arranged

00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:55.800
 the parts of the body,

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.719
 that is, the people within the body of Christ,

00:06:59.000 --> 00:06:59.939
 every one of them,

00:07:00.159 --> 00:07:03.000
 just as God wanted them to be.

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:06.139
 If they were all one part,

00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:07.879
 where would the body be?

00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.019
 As it is, there are many parts,

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.139
 many gifts,

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.219
 but yet one body.

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.779
 So the eye cannot say to the hand,

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:19.339
 I don't need you.

00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:21.219
 And the head cannot say to the feet,

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.300
 I don't need you.

00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:23.699
 On the contrary,

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.920
 those parts of the body

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.300
 that seem to be weaker

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:30.319
 are indispensable.

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:34.459
 You see, there was to be no inferiority

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:38.199
 and no superiority within the church body.

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:40.500
 There is a diversity of gifts,

00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.519
 and they all needed one another.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.819
 You see, for all of their gifting,

00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.379
 and of all of their talents,

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.599
 they were missing one vital ingredient.

00:07:55.719 --> 00:07:58.259
 Verse 29, chapter 12.

00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:00.019
 Are all apostles?

00:08:00.979 --> 00:08:01.459
 No.

00:08:01.979 --> 00:08:02.839
 Are all prophets?

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:03.659
 No.

00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:04.800
 Are all teachers?

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:05.660
 No.

00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:07.300
 Do all work miracles?

00:08:07.580 --> 00:08:07.800
 No.

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.280
 Do all have gifts of healing?

00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:10.040
 No.

00:08:10.260 --> 00:08:11.560
 Do all speak in tongues?

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:12.180
 No.

00:08:12.260 --> 00:08:12.980
 Do all interpret?

00:08:13.320 --> 00:08:13.660
 No.

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.320
 But eagerly desire

00:08:16.320 --> 00:08:18.820
 the greater gifts.

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.700
 So what are the greater gifts?

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:24.300
 We'll have a look at the very end

00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:25.480
 of chapter 13.

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:27.480
 Verse 13.

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:29.480
 Look at the very last line.

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.480
 of the greater gifts.

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.639
 Of the greater gifts,

00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.440
 the greatest of these

00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.060
 is love.

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.000
 You see, what we have in chapter 13

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:48.200
 is not a nice letter

00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.100
 about how wonderful love is,

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:50.980
 although it is.

00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:55.500
 It is a stern rebuke to a church

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.800
 that is unloving.

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:00.340
 He's reminding them that you have

00:09:00.340 --> 00:09:01.759
 every gift you need.

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.700
 You are incredibly gifted,

00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:08.340
 but you don't have love.

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:12.160
 Again, look at chapter 13.

00:09:12.540 --> 00:09:13.800
 Verse 1.

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:17.580
 Chapter 13.

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:18.220
 Verse 1.

00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:21.259
 And now I will show you

00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:23.100
 the most excellent way.

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:25.879
 Let me show you

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.379
 how love is essential

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:31.080
 when it comes to the body of Christ.

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:33.580
 Let me explain to you

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:36.779
 how vital love is

00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:39.180
 when it comes to using your gifts.

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:41.139
 He's going on to show us

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:43.139
 how love and gifts

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:44.600
 are inseparable.

00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:47.420
 Love doesn't replace our gifts.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:50.139
 It's like our gifts

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:53.460
 must be wrapped up in love.

00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:57.259
 So we're going to look at three things

00:09:57.259 --> 00:10:00.240
 this morning in relation to our gifts

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:01.899
 and love.

00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:05.360
 First, gifts without love

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.820
 do nothing to build up the church.

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.200
 Imagine we as a church

00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.100
 had every possible gift

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:15.180
 we could think of.

00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:18.779
 Imagine that each one of us

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:21.099
 had the most extraordinary

00:10:21.099 --> 00:10:22.899
 and amazing gifts

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:24.759
 that we could ever desire.

00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:27.939
 We'll look at chapter 13.

00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:28.539
 Verse 1.

00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:30.939
 If, it's like,

00:10:31.239 --> 00:10:31.679
 imagine,

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.079
 if I speak in the tongues of men

00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:36.639
 and of angels,

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.799
 not just ordinary tongues

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.179
 or ordinary languages,

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:43.299
 but the tongues of angels,

00:10:43.579 --> 00:10:45.319
 some heavenly language

00:10:45.319 --> 00:10:46.099
 if it exists.

00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:48.339
 Imagine being able to speak

00:10:48.339 --> 00:10:49.679
 and pray like that.

00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:53.120
 Verse 1.

00:10:54.219 --> 00:10:55.799
 But if I have not love,

00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.939
 I am only a resounding gong

00:10:58.939 --> 00:11:00.579
 or a clanging cymbal.

00:11:01.859 --> 00:11:02.599
 Without love,

00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:04.079
 all I am is a dreadful,

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:05.259
 irritating noise

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:07.019
 to the rest of the church body.

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:08.899
 Rather than build up the church,

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:10.399
 I am a hindrance

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:11.759
 to the church.

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:14.699
 Or what about verse 2?

00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.819
 If I have the gift of prophecy

00:11:17.819 --> 00:11:20.419
 and can fathom all mysteries

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:22.259
 and all knowledge,

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:25.500
 not just the ability

00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:26.659
 to speak God's word

00:11:26.659 --> 00:11:27.919
 into people's lives,

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:29.019
 but imagine

00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.159
 you had the gift

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.960
 of knowing every divine secret,

00:11:34.319 --> 00:11:35.019
 all mysteries.

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:35.740
 All mysteries.

00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:37.600
 Imagine being able

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.279
 to understand

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:39.720
 what God's plan is

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.419
 in every situation.

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:43.139
 All knowledge.

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:48.259
 End of verse 2.

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:51.139
 But if I have not love,

00:11:52.419 --> 00:11:53.779
 I am nothing.

00:11:55.139 --> 00:11:56.319
 Without love,

00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:58.019
 it doesn't matter

00:11:58.019 --> 00:11:59.059
 what I know

00:11:59.059 --> 00:12:00.840
 or what understanding I have,

00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:03.259
 it will be completely unhelpful

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:04.840
 and unproductive,

00:12:05.059 --> 00:12:07.700
 I will be a waste of space

00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:08.720
 within the church

00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.059
 if I have not love.

00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:14.879
 Or look at the middle of verse 2.

00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.259
 If I have faith

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:20.480
 that could move mountains,

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.000
 imagine faith

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.279
 so great

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:25.720
 that you could uproot

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.939
 Cairn, Tool and Kerry

00:12:26.939 --> 00:12:28.159
 and move it all the way

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.120
 to Athlone Town.

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.080
 Imagine the faith

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.860
 to work amazing miracles,

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.200
 to raise the dead even.

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:43.740
 But if I have not love,

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:46.120
 I am nothing.

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.720
 Without love,

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.639
 I might be able

00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.360
 to do amazing things,

00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:52.879
 but it will be of no value

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.399
 or no worth.

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.059
 Rather than build up the church,

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:00.480
 I am nothing.

00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:03.519
 Or verse 3.

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.459
 If I give all I possess

00:13:06.459 --> 00:13:07.179
 to the poor,

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:09.480
 not just what I usually give,

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:11.500
 but everything.

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:13.919
 If I were to sell my house,

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:15.500
 empty my bank account,

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.000
 cash in my pension,

00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.539
 imagine the gift

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:20.360
 of giving like this.

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:22.600
 But not only that,

00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.759
 look at the rest of verse 3.

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.759
 If I surrender my body

00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.600
 to the flames,

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.439
 imagine you have the gift

00:13:29.439 --> 00:13:30.819
 of going to North Korea

00:13:30.819 --> 00:13:32.340
 with a box full of Bibles

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:33.819
 and preaching the gospel

00:13:33.819 --> 00:13:35.460
 on the streets of Pyongyang

00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:37.519
 or going to ISIS territory

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.399
 and speaking about Jesus

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:40.279
 to the leaders.

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:44.740
 Imagine you have the gift

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:46.519
 to surrender your life

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.679
 to death for Christ.

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:49.879
 God has not loved.

00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.539
 But look at the end

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.139
 of verse 3.

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:57.879
 But if I have not love,

00:13:59.079 --> 00:14:00.839
 I gain nothing.

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.479
 You see,

00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:04.959
 I'm quite sure we all dream

00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.000
 because I do.

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:07.739
 And imagine about having

00:14:07.739 --> 00:14:10.579
 the great and spectacular gifts.

00:14:11.719 --> 00:14:13.099
 But whatever gift

00:14:13.099 --> 00:14:14.099
 has been given to us,

00:14:14.199 --> 00:14:15.279
 whatever gifts God

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.419
 has determined the church

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:18.279
 to have without love.

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.500
 They're nothing.

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:23.740
 All of our service,

00:14:24.459 --> 00:14:25.639
 all of our giving,

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:27.159
 all of our speaking

00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.259
 amounts to zero,

00:14:29.979 --> 00:14:30.779
 zilch.

00:14:30.779 --> 00:14:34.319
 It does no benefit

00:14:34.319 --> 00:14:35.720
 for the church.

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.039
 How sad is that?

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:40.980
 We can be the most

00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:42.199
 busiest of people,

00:14:42.839 --> 00:14:44.980
 extremely talented.

00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:46.579
 We can have titles

00:14:46.579 --> 00:14:47.899
 and we can have roles.

00:14:48.319 --> 00:14:50.079
 We can be whatever gift

00:14:50.079 --> 00:14:51.139
 we want to have.

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.639
 But without love,

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.720
 we gain nothing.

00:14:56.319 --> 00:14:57.899
 And the people around us

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:58.980
 gain nothing.

00:14:58.980 --> 00:15:01.600
 Rather than build up

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.060
 the church,

00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:02.960
 it weakens,

00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:03.560
 breaks,

00:15:04.680 --> 00:15:06.240
 and divides the church.

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:10.259
 So gifts without love

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:12.740
 do nothing to build up

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:13.600
 the church.

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.460
 Second,

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:17.720
 gifts motivated by love

00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.180
 will build up the church.

00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:21.779
 Remember,

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.399
 this chapter 13

00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.320
 is a stern rebuke

00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:25.980
 to a church

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:27.680
 who has every gift

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:33.199
 but they lack love.

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.199
 You see,

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:36.019
 our love can be

00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:37.339
 so easily misplaced,

00:15:37.439 --> 00:15:37.879
 can't it?

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:39.519
 We love ourselves

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.379
 rather than loving others.

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.199
 Instead of building up

00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:43.659
 the church,

00:15:43.739 --> 00:15:44.519
 we're more interested

00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:45.259
 in building up

00:15:45.259 --> 00:15:45.959
 our own egos.

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:49.459
 So verses 4 to 7

00:15:49.459 --> 00:15:51.859
 are to be read

00:15:51.859 --> 00:15:53.500
 as a rebuke

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:54.740
 to the church.

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:56.519
 true love

00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.620
 never has its focus

00:15:57.620 --> 00:15:58.580
 on self.

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.419
 It's always

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:00.960
 focused

00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:02.480
 on others.

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:05.259
 So it's as if

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:06.240
 he's putting love

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:06.860
 before us

00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:07.259
 and saying,

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:08.860
 let's see how

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.639
 our gifts,

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:11.159
 when they are

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.700
 motivated by love,

00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:14.759
 let's have a look

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.519
 at what it would be

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.480
 like within

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.019
 the body of Christ.

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:20.600
 And as we go through,

00:16:20.699 --> 00:16:21.899
 maybe there's one or two

00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:23.319
 you want to pick out

00:16:23.319 --> 00:16:24.519
 and pray

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:25.579
 for God's work

00:16:25.579 --> 00:16:27.559
 in our own lives.

00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.819
 He breaks them

00:16:28.819 --> 00:16:29.840
 into three categories.

00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.620
 Love is,

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.039
 verse 4,

00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.059
 love is patient.

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:35.519
 Love is long

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.240
 suffering

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.639
 with each other.

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.279
 We don't give up

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:39.879
 on people.

00:16:40.199 --> 00:16:40.519
 Instead,

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.259
 we continue

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:42.500
 to use our gifts

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.939
 to serve others

00:16:43.939 --> 00:16:44.939
 and build them up

00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:45.520
 in faith.

00:16:48.380 --> 00:16:49.820
 Love is kind.

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.640
 That is,

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.700
 love is gentle

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:53.640
 towards people

00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:55.180
 who have offended us

00:16:55.180 --> 00:16:57.200
 and those who have

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.160
 caused us hurt.

00:16:58.660 --> 00:16:59.940
 Rather than respond

00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:00.700
 in bitterness,

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:03.900
 we use our gifts

00:17:03.900 --> 00:17:04.700
 to respond

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.480
 with acts

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.860
 of kindness.

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.740
 So love is patient

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:11.460
 and kind.

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:17.039
 love is not.

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.480
 Love does not envy.

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:23.240
 So instead of

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:23.860
 looking around

00:17:23.860 --> 00:17:24.640
 the church family

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.600
 at the gifts of others

00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:26.380
 and wanting what

00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:27.200
 she has

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.200
 or what he has,

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:28.920
 well,

00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:29.920
 instead we give

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:30.600
 thanks to God

00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:31.420
 and we celebrate

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:32.340
 his good design

00:17:32.340 --> 00:17:32.720
 in the way

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.340
 he's given us

00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:34.860
 a diversity of gifts.

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:39.740
 Love does not boast.

00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:42.980
 When we serve

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:43.480
 one another

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:44.180
 we're not seeking

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:45.600
 to draw attention

00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:46.440
 to ourselves.

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.120
 Oh, look at me.

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.680
 What great gifts

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.319
 I have.

00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:52.759
 How would the church

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.120
 ever survive

00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:55.400
 without me?

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:58.740
 Well, we're not great.

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.420
 God is the one

00:18:00.420 --> 00:18:00.980
 who is great

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:01.819
 by giving us

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:02.299
 the gifts

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:04.079
 that we have.

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:07.140
 Read on.

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.579
 Love is not proud.

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:11.079
 Love never says

00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:11.899
 or thinks

00:18:11.899 --> 00:18:13.839
 I don't need you

00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:14.559
 or

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.379
 you know what

00:18:15.379 --> 00:18:16.500
 I can just manage

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:17.220
 on my own.

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:19.059
 No, we're not

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:20.759
 independent people.

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.500
 We are the body

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:23.119
 of Christ

00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.259
 and each one of us

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:26.099
 needs the other.

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:30.480
 Love is not rude.

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:33.619
 As we serve

00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:34.879
 we don't plough on ahead

00:18:34.879 --> 00:18:35.960
 with our own agendas.

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.500
 Ignoring others

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:38.299
 and taking over

00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:39.859
 even if

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:41.619
 our way

00:18:41.619 --> 00:18:42.279
 might be

00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:43.619
 a little bit better.

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.579
 It's not about

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.579
 doing what I want

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:47.059
 and the way

00:18:47.059 --> 00:18:47.779
 that I want.

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:48.640
 Love

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:50.299
 takes into consideration

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:50.859
 others

00:18:50.859 --> 00:18:52.059
 and how our service

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:53.200
 will bless

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:54.000
 them.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.240
 Love is not

00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:00.660
 self-seeking.

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:02.660
 You know

00:19:02.660 --> 00:19:03.380
 when we serve

00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:03.820
 or give

00:19:03.820 --> 00:19:04.540
 financially

00:19:04.540 --> 00:19:06.660
 or plan

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:07.259
 an event

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:08.580
 we don't go

00:19:08.580 --> 00:19:09.060
 looking for

00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:10.000
 people's praise

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:10.500
 and thanks

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:10.779
 and go

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.920
 what did you

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:12.540
 think of that?

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.140
 We want

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:15.960
 people to give

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:16.920
 the Lord Jesus

00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:18.060
 all the glory

00:19:18.060 --> 00:19:19.460
 and praise.

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.620
 Love is not

00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:25.400
 angered.

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:27.220
 Love doesn't

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:28.640
 lose control

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.780
 or lose

00:19:29.780 --> 00:19:30.420
 its cool.

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.060
 We don't

00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:33.100
 shout

00:19:33.100 --> 00:19:33.820
 or get

00:19:33.820 --> 00:19:34.520
 frustrated

00:19:34.520 --> 00:19:35.500
 or get

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:35.960
 annoyed.

00:19:37.280 --> 00:19:37.980
 Love is

00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:39.020
 slow to

00:19:39.020 --> 00:19:39.380
 anger.

00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:40.380
 It brings

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:40.840
 a sense

00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:41.640
 of calm

00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.340
 and peace

00:19:42.340 --> 00:19:43.280
 rather than

00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:44.080
 a whirlwind

00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:44.560
 full of

00:19:44.560 --> 00:19:45.100
 chaos.

00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.620
 Or what

00:19:49.620 --> 00:19:50.060
 about this

00:19:50.060 --> 00:19:50.300
 one?

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.560
 Love does

00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:54.080
 not keep

00:19:54.080 --> 00:19:54.660
 a record

00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:56.420
 of wrongs.

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:56.960
 love.

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.880
 You see

00:19:58.880 --> 00:19:59.380
 we don't

00:19:59.380 --> 00:19:59.900
 withhold

00:19:59.900 --> 00:20:00.720
 our service

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:01.920
 to others

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.480
 because of

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:02.860
 what they

00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:03.539
 said to

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:04.200
 me last

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.620
 week.

00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:06.380
 And we

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:06.940
 don't think

00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:07.580
 things like

00:20:07.580 --> 00:20:08.300
 well I'm

00:20:08.300 --> 00:20:08.660
 not going

00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:09.140
 to help

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:10.940
 you fill

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:11.200
 in the

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:11.500
 name

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:13.240
 because of

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:13.480
 the way

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.140
 they treated

00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:15.140
 me all

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.700
 those years

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:16.060
 ago.

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.880
 Love

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.660
 covers over

00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:20.500
 a multitude

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:22.480
 of sins.

00:20:23.580 --> 00:20:24.380
 We don't

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:25.180
 keep records.

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:28.400
 love does

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:28.980
 not delight

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:29.380
 in evil

00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:30.160
 but rejoices

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:30.539
 with the

00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:30.880
 truth.

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:31.800
 When we

00:20:31.800 --> 00:20:32.480
 speak to

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:32.920
 each other

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.660
 we don't

00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:34.400
 ignore

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:35.500
 unrepentant

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:35.960
 sin or

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.840
 overlook

00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:37.320
 sinful

00:20:37.320 --> 00:20:37.820
 behaviour.

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:38.640
 Love

00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:39.560
 speaks the

00:20:39.560 --> 00:20:39.980
 truth

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.920
 gently

00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.560
 so as

00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:43.220
 to build

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:44.340
 one another

00:20:44.340 --> 00:20:44.740
 up.

00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:47.580
 So love

00:20:47.580 --> 00:20:47.860
 is,

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.380
 love is

00:20:48.380 --> 00:20:48.900
 not

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:51.820
 and love

00:20:51.820 --> 00:20:52.660
 always.

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:54.720
 love

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.660
 is

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:55.980
 look at

00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:56.519
 verse 7,

00:20:56.620 --> 00:20:56.800
 love

00:20:56.800 --> 00:20:57.279
 always

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.279
 protects.

00:20:59.620 --> 00:21:00.019
 Love

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.540
 is always

00:21:00.540 --> 00:21:01.180
 seeking what

00:21:01.180 --> 00:21:01.680
 is best

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.100
 for the

00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:02.380
 other

00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:02.840
 person,

00:21:03.300 --> 00:21:03.680
 building

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.160
 them up

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:04.800
 rather than

00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:05.240
 tearing

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.759
 them down

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.120
 with our

00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:06.740
 gossip and

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:06.900
 our

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:07.320
 words.

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:11.200
 Love

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:11.640
 always

00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:12.400
 trusts.

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.500
 it moves

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:15.960
 beyond

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.660
 questions

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:17.300
 and

00:21:17.300 --> 00:21:17.800
 concerns

00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:18.060
 about

00:21:18.060 --> 00:21:19.019
 what if

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.240
 that

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:19.740
 person

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.160
 won't

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.580
 accept

00:21:20.580 --> 00:21:20.880
 my

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:21.220
 gift

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.440
 or

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.160
 what if

00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:22.380
 they're

00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:22.580
 not

00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:22.820
 going

00:21:22.820 --> 00:21:23.019
 to

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.400
 receive

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:23.660
 my

00:21:23.660 --> 00:21:23.900
 help

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:24.040
 or

00:21:24.040 --> 00:21:24.680
 what if

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:25.100
 they take

00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:25.320
 my

00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:25.840
 encouragement

00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:26.259
 in the

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.460
 wrong

00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:26.680
 way?

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:27.560
 What if?

00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:31.019
 Well,

00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:31.340
 love

00:21:31.340 --> 00:21:33.100
 always gives

00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:33.680
 people the

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.220
 benefit of

00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:34.580
 the doubt

00:21:34.580 --> 00:21:35.380
 and moves

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:35.980
 towards

00:21:35.980 --> 00:21:36.360
 them

 always

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:41.839
 hopes.

00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.099
 It

00:21:44.099 --> 00:21:44.599
 acts

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:45.019
 in

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.679
 confidence

00:21:45.679 --> 00:21:47.039
 that God

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:50.339
 is ultimately

00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:51.119
 in control.

 Love

00:21:54.099 --> 00:21:54.799

 others in

 the end.

 Love

 come to

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:28.700
 my

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:29.079
 house.

 You

00:23:33.159 --> 00:23:33.859
 far along

00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:34.240
 the list

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:34.799

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:37.440

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.140
 and repent

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:40.160
 and ask

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:40.720
 God to

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:41.140
 make us

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:41.819
 more like

00:23:41.819 --> 00:23:42.259
 his son

00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.500

00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:47.339
 was

00:23:47.339 --> 00:23:48.500
 love.

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.759
 We need

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.319
 to stop

00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:52.900
 and ask

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:53.480
 Lord

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:54.599
 change

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:54.880
 my

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.819
 self-loving

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:56.259

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:56.940
 Forgive

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.559

00:23:58.579 --> 00:23:58.819

 Fill

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.079
 me with

 may love

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:03.179
 others

00:24:03.179 --> 00:24:05.099
 as you

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:06.740
 loved me

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.659
 as you

00:24:07.659 --> 00:24:08.439
 gave your

00:24:08.439 --> 00:24:09.139
 life for

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:09.839
 me as

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:10.419
 you have

00:24:10.419 --> 00:24:11.359
 persisted and

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:12.219
 pursued me

00:24:12.219 --> 00:24:13.319
 never failing

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.359
 never giving

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:14.819
 up

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:16.959
 never keeping

00:24:16.959 --> 00:24:17.679
 a record of

00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:19.500
 my wrongs.

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:23.819
 Lord help

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.440

00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:25.240
 love.

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:29.059
 No wonder

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:29.980
 called

00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:31.420

00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:32.180
 excellent

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:32.619
 way.

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.400
 You see

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.160
 when our

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.160

00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:40.319

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:40.980
 to others

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:43.039
 they build

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:43.500

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:43.960

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.460

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.059
 And

00:26:08.619 --> 00:26:38.619


00:26:38.619 --> 00:26:39.859
 so

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:39.879

 so

00:26:40.159 --> 00:26:40.359
 what

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:40.519
 is

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:40.719
 this

00:26:40.719 --> 00:26:41.299
 perfection

00:26:45.259 --> 00:26:45.819
 when

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:46.079
 will

00:28:07.679 --> 00:28:07.879
 be

00:28:07.879 --> 00:28:08.339
 like

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:09.959
 look

00:28:09.959 --> 00:28:10.099
 at

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:10.439
 verse

00:28:10.439 --> 00:28:11.739
 11

00:28:11.739 --> 00:28:12.479
 chapter

00:28:12.479 --> 00:28:13.319
 13

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:13.679
 verse

00:28:13.679 --> 00:28:14.139
 11

00:28:14.139 --> 00:28:16.379
 when

00:28:16.379 --> 00:28:16.539
 I

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:16.719
 was

00:28:16.719 --> 00:28:16.899
 a

00:28:16.899 --> 00:28:17.299
 child

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:18.639
 I

00:28:18.639 --> 00:28:19.219
 talked

00:28:19.219 --> 00:28:19.539
 like

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:19.699
 a

00:28:19.699 --> 00:28:20.000
 child

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.239
 I

00:28:20.239 --> 00:28:20.859
 thought

00:28:20.859 --> 00:28:21.219
 like

00:28:21.219 --> 00:28:21.399
 a

00:28:21.399 --> 00:28:21.719
 child

00:28:21.719 --> 00:28:22.239
 I

00:28:22.239 --> 00:28:23.079
 reasoned

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.319
 like

00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:23.500
 a

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:23.799
 child

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.899
 when

00:28:24.899 --> 00:28:25.079
 I

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.419
 became

00:28:25.419 --> 00:28:25.619
 a

00:28:25.619 --> 00:28:25.939
 man

00:28:25.939 --> 00:28:26.479
 I

00:28:26.479 --> 00:28:26.819
 put

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:27.500
 childish

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:27.899
 ways

00:28:27.899 --> 00:28:28.379
 behind

00:28:28.379 --> 00:28:28.739
 me

00:28:28.739 --> 00:28:30.099
 you

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:30.279
 see

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.779
 adults

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.059
 do

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.299
 not

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:31.639
 behave

00:28:31.639 --> 00:28:31.899
 like

00:28:31.899 --> 00:28:32.480
 toddlers

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.119
 well

00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:33.220
 we're

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:33.399
 not

00:28:33.399 --> 00:28:33.619
 meant

00:28:33.619 --> 00:28:33.819
 to

00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:33.980
 at

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:34.279
 least

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:35.599
 they

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.180
 mature

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:36.460
 they

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.259
 change

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:38.059
 certain

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:38.639
 behaviors

00:28:38.639 --> 00:28:38.960
 are

00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:39.359
 left

00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:39.879
 behind

00:28:39.879 --> 00:28:40.420
 they

00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:41.059
 grow

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:41.500
 up

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:43.920
 well

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.240
 that's

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.440
 like

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.639
 our

00:28:44.639 --> 00:28:45.180
 spiritual

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.720
 gifts

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.279
 their

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:46.779
 purpose

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:47.819
 is to

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.379
 grow

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:48.619
 us

00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:48.819
 up

00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:49.039
 to

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.500
 grow

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:49.740
 the

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.079
 church

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:50.500
 body

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:50.960
 up

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.480
 so

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:51.700
 that

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:51.980
 we

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.500
 become

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:52.779
 the

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:53.160
 holy

00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:53.599
 people

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:53.779
 of

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:54.039
 God

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:54.480
 so

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:54.680
 that

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:54.920
 when

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:55.460
 Christ

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:55.879
 comes

00:28:55.879 --> 00:28:56.319
 again

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:57.599
 we

00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:57.839
 will

00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.159
 put

00:28:58.159 --> 00:28:58.859
 childish

00:28:58.859 --> 00:28:59.339
 ways

00:28:59.339 --> 00:28:59.879
 behind

00:28:59.879 --> 00:29:00.220
 us

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:00.639
 that

00:29:00.639 --> 00:29:00.799
 is

00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:00.980
 we

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.200
 will

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.579
 not

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:01.939
 need

00:29:01.939 --> 00:29:02.159
 our

00:29:02.159 --> 00:29:02.559
 gifts

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:03.220
 anymore

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:04.599
 because

00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:05.200
 now

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.399
 we

00:29:05.399 --> 00:29:05.579
 will

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:05.779
 be

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:06.299
 fully

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:07.240
 mature

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:09.759
 we

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:09.980
 will

00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:10.159
 have

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:10.679
 grown

00:29:10.679 --> 00:29:11.139
 up

00:29:11.139 --> 00:29:12.559
 we

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:12.819
 will

00:29:12.819 --> 00:29:13.240
 be

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.819
 like

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:15.119
 Christ

00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:19.559
 he

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:19.759
 gives

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:19.919
 us

00:29:19.919 --> 00:29:20.159
 another

00:29:20.159 --> 00:29:20.559
 picture

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:20.779
 in

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:20.980
 verse

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:21.460
 12

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:23.920
 now

00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:24.140
 we

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:24.440
 see

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:24.640
 a

00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:24.940
 poor

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:25.480
 reflection

00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:25.759
 as

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:25.900
 in

00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:26.059
 a

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:26.319
 mirror

00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:27.480
 then

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.860
 in

00:29:28.860 --> 00:29:29.019
 the

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.500
 future

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:30.319
 when

00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:30.660
 Christ

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:30.960
 comes

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.259
 again

00:29:31.259 --> 00:29:31.720
 we

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.000
 shall

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:32.400
 see

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:33.240
 face

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:33.460
 to

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:33.940
 face

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:36.319
 now

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:36.420
 I

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:36.539
 think

00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:36.740
 it's

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:36.960
 helpful

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.299
 for us

00:29:37.299 --> 00:29:37.460
 to

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:37.680
 know

00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:37.960
 that

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.500
 mirrors

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:38.740
 in

00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:38.880
 the

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:39.100
 first

00:29:39.100 --> 00:29:39.480
 century

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:39.660
 are

00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:39.860
 not

00:29:39.860 --> 00:29:40.079
 like

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.279
 your

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:40.660
 mirrors

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:41.120
 today

00:29:41.120 --> 00:29:42.240
 they

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:42.380
 were

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:42.640
 made

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:42.840
 of

00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:43.380
 polished

00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:43.880
 metal

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:44.700
 so

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:44.860
 it's

00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:44.940
 a

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:45.059
 bit

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:45.319
 like

00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:45.640
 looking

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:45.860
 at

00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:46.319
 yourself

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:47.000
 on

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.160
 a

00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:47.460
 biscuit

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:47.799
 tin

00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:48.039
 lid

00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:48.319
 do you

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:48.500
 remember

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:48.819
 doing

00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:49.059
 that

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:49.240
 and

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:50.360
 all

00:29:50.360 --> 00:29:50.480
 the

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:50.700
 funny

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:51.079
 shapes

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:51.259
 you

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:51.379
 could

00:29:51.379 --> 00:29:51.639
 get

00:29:51.639 --> 00:29:52.759
 you

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.119
 could

00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:53.519
 see

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:53.740
 your

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.199
 reflection

00:29:54.199 --> 00:29:54.779
 but

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.039
 it's

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.259
 not

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.579
 very

00:29:55.579 --> 00:29:56.119
 clear

00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:57.079
 it's

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.299
 all

00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:57.460
 a

00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:57.599
 little

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:57.819
 bit

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.419
 hazy

00:29:58.419 --> 00:30:00.599
 well

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:01.059
 God

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:01.259
 has

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:01.559
 given

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:02.799
 spiritual

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:03.159
 gifts

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:03.619
 to us

00:30:03.619 --> 00:30:03.960
 and to

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.179
 the

00:30:04.179 --> 00:30:04.480
 church

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.220
 to

00:30:05.220 --> 00:30:05.659
 help

00:30:05.659 --> 00:30:05.919
 us

00:30:05.919 --> 00:30:06.279
 know

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.740
 God

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.299
 more

00:30:07.299 --> 00:30:08.259
 to

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:08.500
 get

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:08.699
 a

00:30:08.699 --> 00:30:09.259
 clear

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:10.119
 vision

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:10.419
 a

00:30:10.419 --> 00:30:10.819
 picture

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:11.059
 of

 who

 God

 but

00:30:12.439 --> 00:30:12.679
 for

 for

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:14.299
 all

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:14.480
 our

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:14.819
 knowledge

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:15.039
 of

 our

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:17.460
 understanding

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:17.919
 and our

00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:18.500
 clarity

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:18.759
 of

00:30:19.879 --> 00:30:20.019
 little

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:20.259
 bit

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:20.759
 hazy

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.359
 it's

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:21.599
 like

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:21.940
 looking

00:30:21.940 --> 00:30:22.259
 into

00:30:22.900 --> 00:30:23.519
 mirror

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:24.200
 it's

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:24.519
 not

00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:24.920
 quite

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:25.359
 clear

00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.119
 we

00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:27.299
 can

 have

 the

 greatest

00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:28.660
 teachers

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.200

 communicate

 we

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:36.339
 will
