This week we find in the Love Letter of 2nd Corinthians a passage of encouragement and assignment. In Chapter 5 we are instructed that now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation! God is at work to bring to you the message of reconciliation and the power of new life. In fact His desire is to make all things new.

This week, we are looking at one of the most popular chapters in the Bible, I Corinthians 13. We know it as the great love chapter, and though we know what it has to say, most people simply don’t understand what this Godly love is. We have been given the gift of God’s love through Jesus our Lord and Savior. We need to learn to let His love flow through us.

This week we come to chapters 9 and 10 in the first letter to the church at Corinth. Through these first chapters Paul, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit of God, has encouraged us to glorify God, in our salvation, in our relationships with brothers and sisters in His church, in our bodies, and in our marriage or singleness. Now the message moves to glorifying God in and through relationships with those around us who have not come to Christ. For these, we are to build redemptive relationships by building bridges of love.

"Glorifying God"... We were created for this purpose and in 1 Corinthians 6 we are reminded that what we do and say can distort our ability to bring God glory. We are are often distracted and deceived by the world into wrong thinking about the value of our lives. God’s word reminds us that He so highly valued us that He payed a high price for our redemption.

This Sunday’s message, You’ve Got Mail," will be an introduction to our 13 week Bible Adventure in the books of 1&2 Corinthians called Love Letters. In the following weeks we will bring together our Sunday morning evening and Wednesday night messages in addition to our small group sessions and daily bible readings. I believe that this will be an exciting time of unity as our family is working through these wonderful letters of truth and love.
