Love 101: A Mid Term Exam
1 Corinthians 13:7-8
Skip Heitzig

1 Corinthians 13 (NKJV™)
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Royal Road of Love, The

Many of our kids have just finished their school year. No more homework and no more tests to take. But not so in life! Our education never really ends. We're taught lessons every day and those lessons are often accompanied by tests—opportunities to demonstrate if we've learned the necessary material. Today let's take a test to see how well we stack up in the area of Christian love.

God's love is the missing ingredient in many of our relationships. Many of them are merely perfunctory and unfortunately erode over time. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul paints a picture of what true love is and what it is not. Throughout the text, Paul shows us that true love has many facets and explains it in both positive and negative terms. He tells us our love for others is meant to be a mirror of Christ's love for us. This series looks at what true love really is, highlighting how we can learn to let love govern our personal relationships.

  1. HOW Strong is Your LOVE? “Love bears all things

  2. How Trusting is Your Love? “...B­elieves all things,

  3. Hopeful is Your Love? “...Hopes all things,

  4. How Committed is Your Love? “...Endures all things,

  5. How Lasting is Your Love? “Love never fails.

Pondering the Principles:
  1. Though it might be a bit painful, give the above list to someone you’re close to and loves you. Ask them to constructively evaluate your love in light of these attributes. Then humble yourself before God and ask Him to work them out in your life.

  2. Have you ever been hurt in a love relationship? What went wrong? How was the love in that relationship different from this love described in these verses?

The Main Thing is the Greatest Thing
1 Corinthians 13:8-13
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
You've heard the old saying, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing!" The whole premise of this thirteenth chapter to the Corinthians is that love is the main thing. But why is it so? And why should it be always cultivated and maintained in any relationship or friendship? Because, says Paul, it is the greatest thing of all!

So Easy to Say, So Hard to Do!
1 Corinthians 13:5-6
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
In the movie classic Fiddler On The Roof, Tevye, the husband and main character, gently asked his wife, Golde, in song, "Do you love me?" Her response was very pragmatic and evidential. She explained that since she has been committed for over 25 years to him in marriage and serves him around the house that her love is sure. How can we tell that we are people of love? What is the proof? How do loving people act around other people? These verses tell us.

Five Facets on the Diamond of Love
1 Corinthians 13:4
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
The splendor of a fine jewel is due to the summation of all its attributes. Love is no different. To define real love is difficult; to describe love is much easier. That's what Paul does for us here. Like spinning a diamond and examining its fine markings, he looks at agape love under the magnifying glass of its own characteristics. Today, we turn the light onto one verse and see five facets of this exquisite gem.

The Missing Ingredient
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Imagine having a simplified cake mix with only one requirement—"Just add water"—only to find that the city turned off your water supply! The simple instructions now become frustrating because you're missing only one ingredient: water. What water is to your recipe, love is to the Christian believer—without it you have only dust and crumbs! In this second message in our series on real love, we discover the preeminence of this ingredient.

The Royal Road of Love
1 Corinthians 12:27-13:13
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Today, we begin a new series based on perhaps Paul the Apostle's most famous literary work, 1 Corinthians 13. This "chapter of love" is one of the most beautiful, most needed, and most misunderstood sections of the New Testament. As we survey this plot of scriptural real estate together, my hope is that God will work within each of us a heart of mature love—love that is unconditional, sacrificial, and satisfying!
