Love: Overcoming My Ego (2 of 8)
Series: Relational Harmony in Your Home

1 Corinthians 13
Last Sunday, we began a series devoted to bring the change into our lives that we've always longed for. It's a series devoted to explaining, promoting, and advocating living life with the fruit of the Spirit. Ask the person sitting next to you if they know the fruit of the Spirit. If not, here they are: ''But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law'' (Galatians 5:22-23).

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 ...
