Pr. Nick preached about what love has to do with discovering and living out your spiritual gifts.

"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." -1 Corinthians 13:13

Until that day we stand before Him face to face when Christ Jesus has finally and completely restored all things to the way God intended we still need…
…Hope - our hope rests in Christ and that day.
…Faith - faith is the evidence of things not seen, so we need faith now, but when they are seen we will no longer need faith or hope.
But love… it will always be and we will be and on that day we will be in perfect relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Love ties it all together

The point here is - Spiritual gifts do not have meaning if void of love. Spiritual gifts find their value in their purpose - Sharing the love and grace of Christ. You can get everything right, but if you don’t get this right you have it all wrong

We do not have true love in our hearts. It comes from God by way of His sacrifice and atonement. Jesus took on our arrogance, pride, and selfishness so that we could have eternal life and could live out His purposes and blessings. Love bears all things because upon Himself all things were taken, in order that we could experience all things for eternity with Him.

God is patient with you and kind. He does not keep record of your wrongs — on the cross He cast them as far as the east is from the west. He does not rejoice in wrongdoing or injustice but He rejoices in the truth. He bares all things, and has endured all things… Because He is love.

We would love to pray with you today!
