The Power of Kindness (1 of 4)
Series: The Power of Kindness
Kerry Shook
1 Corinthians 13:4


''Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'' Matt. 22:37-40 (NIV)

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

3. Nothing I Believe Makes A Difference

''Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love.'' vs 2b (LB)

4. Nothing I Give Makes A Difference

''If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, but if I didn't ...
