Love in action 1 Corinthians 13

Love in action 1 Corinthians 13

Introduction

“You say you love me, at least 1000 times a day. But I can’t see that love in your actions.” My wife told me in a frustrated voice, after I denied to help her with the Sunday worship service one day. I paused for a moment. Isn’t she right? This was the situation in the Church of Corinth and that’s why Paul wrote to the church of Corinth at a time they had given priority to Spiritual gifts while ignoring to love each other.

Love without actions is dead! And this passage tells us what is real love.

On the way she found him  smiling at the sky for every strike of lightning..She asked him why.

Life's simple..Its all about the way with which we approach it

Paralytics were very common in biblical times. Medical support was not available for such disabled people and their only hope was divine intervention. This passage tells about a paralytic and the story deals with three principals for having an encounter with God.

Workers in the Vineyard

The parable of the workers in the Vineyard Matthew 20:1-16

Introduction

Grace is the central theme of this parable. In it we meet a group of laborers whose master wasn’t very happy (in Matthew 20:13 “friend” is used ironically) because they failed to identify the grace he expressed unto them. Likewise today there are Christians in the church who don’t walk in the grace of God. Needless to say such behavior doesn’t impress God at all. In this parable I recognized three reasons as to why we fail to walk in God’s grace and how to overcome them.

It also leaps into a debate over what information parents will eventually have — and use — to decide whether to have an abortion.
