March 15, 2026 - The Greatest of these is Love | 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 Baptist Bible Church, Sparta MI

Spiritual gifts were highly prized in Corinth—and they remain a source of debate in the church today. But Paul directs our attention to something far greater. While certain gifts were temporary and served a specific purpose in God’s unfolding revelation, love is eternal.

In this message, we explore:

Why Paul teaches that some spiritual gifts would one day ceaseHow the “partial” and the “perfect” help us understand the role of revelatory gifts in the early churchWhat it means to live now in the era where faith, hope, and love remainWhy love stands above every gift, ability, and achievement as the one virtue that will last forever

Because when Christ returns, faith will become sight and hope will be fulfilled—but love will never end.
