At the heart of today’s message is Paul’s challenge to the church: pursue love with urgency, even as you desire spiritual gifts. Christian Daniel takes us through 1 Corinthians 14:1–19, unpacking the purpose and place of tongues and prophecy within the body of Christ.Love is not a bonus feature of the Christian life—it is the *foundation*. Without love, our gifts are noise; with love, even five simple words can build up the church. As we grow in our spiritual gifts, we’re reminded that the ultimate goal is not personal expression, but communal edification. We don’t use our gifts for self, but for others—because love always puts others first.* Pursue love as if your life depends on it—because it does.* Desire spiritual gifts, but never apart from love.* Let all you do—whether prophecy, tongues, or silence—be for the good of your brother or sister in Christ.This sermon brings a powerful call to action: how will you intentionally pursue love this week?🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this powerful message titled*"A More Excellent Way," Pastor Joel continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, turning from the gifts of the Spirit in chapter 12 to the heart of the kingdom in chapter 13—love.

While spiritual gifts are vital and miraculous, Paul makes it clear that without love, they mean nothing. Love is not merely a feeling or a poetic idea—it is the essence of who God is, the defining trait of Christ, and the mark of true discipleship. Pastor Joel unpacks what love is, what it is not, and how we are called to live it out—not just receive it, but to reflect it.

* Christ-centered gifts must be rooted in love to bear fruit
* Love is patient, kind, humble, enduring—and it never fails
* Without love, our faith, generosity, and even martyrdom profit nothing
* God's Spirit bears the fruit of love in us when we walk in His grace
* Love is the only eternal force that will never cease

If we want to be a church that glorifies God, we must walk in this love. Let us renew our commitment to live out our faith in a way that reflects the heart of Christ to one another and to the world around us.

In this powerful message, Pastor Joel unpacks the rich truth of *1 Corinthians 12*, reminding us that God has uniquely graced each member of the body of Christ with spiritual gifts—for one purpose: the common good. From wisdom and healing to faith and discernment, the Holy Spirit distributes these gifts as He wills, empowering us to function as one united, Christ-centered body.

* Discover the biblical purpose of spiritual gifts—not for personal gain, but for the edification of others
* Learn why being *aware* of the Holy Spirit’s work is essential in our post-modern world
* Be challenged to value every member of the body and the distinct grace God has placed on their lives
* Reflect on how you can yield to the Spirit and walk in the unique calling God has placed on you

This sermon is a call to unity, humility, and faith—a reminder that we need the grace of God in each other’s lives to truly become and build the Kingdom Community God desires.
