Love Is

Love Endures All Things:

  1. It bears all things.
  2. It believes all things.
  3. It believes all God says.
  4. It hopes all things.
  5. Love knows what God will do in the end.
  6. Therefore, love is hopeful about what God can do now.
  7. Love endures all things.

One of the words of this season has been unprecedented. I think that’s a bit overplayed, but one that I don’t hear too much that I think could aptly describe our culture right now is this: Irritated

Everybody is irritated. I don’t think it’s a stretch for any of us to identify with that word today. We feel it. It takes much less to tip the scales to be angry than it used to. We are short with our spouses and our kids. We are annoyed easily by our coworkers or even strangers out in the world. We are irritated by ads on tv. We are simply just irritated and this is a problem.

So this morning I want to look at two ways to describe this problem and then the solution to the problem. 

  1. A heart and actions problem
  2. A heart and actions solution

In 1 Corinthians 13:5 we read that love “does not insist on its own way.”  Said another way, love does not seek its own advantage.  This truth can be easier to state than live by because the sin of selfishness is deep rooted in our hearts.  We are all prone to put our happiness, our comfort, ourselves on the throne of our lives rather Christ.  When Christ is properly seated on the throne of our lives we become more concerned with seeing Christ glorified than ourselves.

In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Paul is not merely describing love, but he is using verbs to show that love is defined by how it is put into practice.  This week, we see that when Paul writes that love is patient and kind he is say, love responds with patience and love extends kindness.
