ITS TIME WE GROW UP
13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
1. We must have two things to make it.
13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
We can talk a big game
We can out the part
If we don’t have love
Its just noise
2. Things I do want count .
13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
You may be able to prophecies
You may understand mysteries
You may have a wealth of knowledge
You may have strong faith
Without love you have nothing
3. You may have a heart of gold
13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
You may give all to the poor
You may give you body
No love
You gain nothing
4. Charity suffers long and hard
13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
You must be kind
You must not envy
Love don’t brag
Love is not puffed up
Love is give for us to stand on
5. We must have hope
3:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Don’t seek for your self
Think no evil
Not easy to make mad
Rejoice not in evil
Rejoice in the truth
Learn to endure and go on
6. Love will never fail
13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Many things fail but love will never fail
Prophecies fail
Tongues will cease
Knowledge will vanish
7. Be strong in the Lord
13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Have faith
Have hope
Show love
Remember love is the greatest
