Kiddie Love (3 of 3)
Series: Love Culture

1 Corinthians 13:8-13?
We are excited to continue our series that we started a couple of weeks ago called the Love Culture.

People were getting drunk off of the Lord's Supper. People were suing each other in the church. Paul said the members caused more harm than good when they met together. He thought it would be better for them not to have church services because, when they got together, all the crazy stuff happened. That's the Corinthian church. Paul begins to challenge them to refocus their life on the virtue of love. People were fighting over spiritual gifts, and people were showing off individual spiritual abilities. They thought they were superior to others because of their gifting. The Corinthian church is ...
