What's Love Got To Do With It? (Part 1)

Pastor Dell led us through a familiar passage as we continued our series on 1st Corinthians. Paul's message in First Corinthians 13 reveals a startling truth: without agape love, even our greatest spiritual gifts and sacrifices are worthless. Agape is God's sacrificial, unconditional love - different from romantic, family, or friendship love. This divine love is perfectly demonstrated in John 3:16 and Jesus' ministry to outcasts and sinners. The danger lies in serving without this love, making our efforts like noisy gongs rather than beautiful music. To truly love others with agape love, we must first know and experience God's love personally, not just know about Him intellectually.
