As You Go: Love People as We Go

As we continue to examine our mission statement (Glorify God, Love People, Make Disciples) we bring our attention to how we love as a church. Paul wrote one of the great passages in 1 Corinthians 13 admonishing an unloving church on how they can best reflect the love of God they had experienced. Paul's reminder is that we may have right doctrine and gifts and be absent of love. 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 is the expression of the proper attitude, atmosphere, motivation, and power we are to hold in our use of our gifting and ministry.
