You can speak in tongues. You can prophesy. You can preach fire. You can operate in every spiritual gift under heaven. But if you don’t have love? Paul says you are nothing but noise.This sermon dives into 1 Corinthians 12–14 — showing that Paul’s famous “Love Chapter” isn’t a wedding passage, but the heartbeat of spiritual maturity. Gifts are powerful. But love is eternal. Gifts reveal Jesus. But love reflects Jesus. Gifts can build the body. But love is the atmosphere that makes those gifts effective.In this message you’ll learn: • Why context matters • That gifts are given for the common good — not for self-promotion. • That love is patient, kind, authentic, and refuses to quit when it gets hard. • Why endurance in love matters more than recognition of gifts. • How Jesus showed us the “more excellent way” by enduring the cross.Whether you’re serving in ministry, leading a church, or simply trying to walk faithfully with Jesus — this word will challenge you not to be gift rich, but love-sick.
