"Love" dominates the music scene. From the Beatles "All You Need is Love" to The Backstreet Boys "As Long As You Love Me" to Justin Bieber's tune of the same title, we're preoccupied with love. But popular culture has a knack for distortion. We'll regroup by looking at arguably the most famous chapter in all of Christian Scripture.

Love...
1) The nature of it
2) The indispensability of it
3) The permanence of it

Text: 1 Corinthians 12:31b-13:13

A vehicle's electronic ignition system is a far more complicated auto part than the oil drain plug. But would you want to be without either of them? Just like there are no insignificant parts to a car, there are no insignificant parts to a church. Join us to be reminded of your value to the church.

Church life...
1) The single dimensionality of the church
2) The multi-dimensionality of the church
3) The functionality of the church

Text: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31

Manifestations of the Spirit...
1) What they are
2) The role they have
3) The ultimate purpose they serve

Text: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
