Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 16:15-24 |

Series:

The Christian community is to be marked out by their love for one another. Jesus said that this is how people will know that the church are his disciples. In fact, love for Jesus and love for one another is a necessary and defining characteristic of a true Christian.

Part of loving one another is honoring one another and recognizing those who devote themselves to the service of the saints.



1 Corinthians

The book of 1 Corinthians was written to a troubled yet gifted church. Paul, an apostle of God, through the inspiration of the Spirit addresses a number of issues that are so relevant to today's church. He address divisions, the Lord's supper, the importance of the resurrection, sexual immorality, marriage, spiritual gifts, and much more. He applies the gospel to each issue. Certainly we need to listen to God's word as these issues are addressed.
