LOVE… THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY Series: The Art Of Love – Week #1 Pastor Nestor Flores Sunday February 18, 2024 “Great Relationships Are Built In A Day... But They Are Built Daily.” “Love should be your guide...” 1 Corinthians 14:1 (CEV) “May love always be the highest goal for you!” 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NBV) “Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.” 1 Corinthians 12:31 (NIV) “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (ESV) LOVE IS THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY BECAUSE… 1. Without Love My Words Are Mere Noise. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1 (ESV) “Speak the truth in love…” Ephesians 4:15 (NLT) 2. Without Love My Knowledge Makes Me Proud “And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge… but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2ª (ESV) “Knowledge puffs up while love builds up.” 1 Corinthians 8:1 (NIV) 3. Without Love My Faith Is Worthless “…and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2b (ESV) “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” Galatians 5:6 (NIV) 4. Without Love My Generosity Is Insignificant “If I give away all I have… but have not love, I gain nothing..” 1 Corinthians 13:3ª (ESV) 5. Without Love My Sacrifice Is Of No Use To Me “…and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:3 (ESV)
