Sunday, October 03, 2021. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 | "The Greatest of These" We, humans, tend to filter God through only one adjective, like "love." God is love, but He is much more than that.

In this famous chapter, the apostle explains to the church what happens when love is absent, when love is active, and when love abides. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "The Greatest of These."
