How God's People Should Love (3 of 3)
Series: How the Church Should Give, Live, and Love

1 Corinthians 16:14-24
Well, let me say it one last time: Take your bibles and turn to 1 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 16.
It's been 13 months since we started our study of 1 Corinthians. We've devoted 52 sermons to cover the 437 verses of this amazing letter, and today we come to the very end. In last year, we have looked at numerous controversial issues: tongues, prophecy, healing, headship, submission, adultery, homosexuality, incest, lawsuits, the cross, the empty tomb, our eternal body, offerings, Satan, and spiritual warfare just to name a few.
As we end our series today, let me ask you a personal question: Is there any evidence in your life that we've spent 13 months studying God's Word in 1 Corinthians? Are you thinking differently? Are you living differently? Are you loving differently? Are you serving differently? Are you worshipping differently? Are you giving differently? Are you understanding the church and it's mission differently? Those are important questions because we're not to be merely hearers of the Word, but doers of the Word as well. This isn't meant to just inform our minds, but motivate our hearts, activate lives, and change our world.
It's not surprising how Paul ends his letter. It's like he has one more shot, one more chance to unveil their greatest problem and reveal their quickest cure. Look at V14, ''Do everything in love.'' Sometimes I hear people say, ''I just can't memorize Scripture.'' Really? You can't memorize these four words? My wife's two year old Sunday School class does it all the time. It's really about ''I won't'' rather than ''I can't''. Let's recite this verse together: --Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14 (repeat a few times) 4 simple, but life changing words. What does 'do everything in love' mean? Hmmm. It means: do everything in love. Does that make it clearer?
This verse is just another way ...
