1 Corinthians 13 is often read at weddings, but it isn't ultimately about weddings. Paul is writing in the context of spiritual gifts, and he says if you can do all the things that you really want to do and even that are valuable and good, but you don't have love, you're missing it.

This sermon walks through 1 Corinthians 13 line by line. Love isn't ultimately first about us. It's about God. First John says God is love, and we love because he first loved us. Even if you don't get the thing you really want, if you have him, you're okay. You're secure. You're not a human doing. You're a human being who's loved by God.

When Paul lists what love is not, he's very specifically calling out things he's already critiqued the Corinthian church for. Almost all eight. Love is not envious. Love is not boastful. Love is not puffed up. He's saying what you're doing is not love, no matter how much you're trying to sanitize it and call it love.

Three things will last forever. Faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.
