1 Cor 16
Love for the needy.
These instructions concern the offering Paul was taking up from the churches to help the needy believers in Judea.
The principles involved may be applied to Christian giving in general.
Our giving should be voluntary, in proportion to God's blessing, systematic and handled honestly.
Love for leaders.
We have the privilege of encouraging God's work as we pray for His servants.
Even men like Paul, Timothy and Apollos needed the help and encouragement of God's people.
Are you praying for leaders?
Love for the church.
Love, steadfastness and submission make for a strong church.
When you have people who are devoted to the work of the Lord, people who refresh you in the Lord – well, God is going to bless them!
And you're gonna be blessed in the process.
What a joy to be a part of a church family that ministers in love.
Love for Christ.
'O come, Lord come!' is a prayer that reveals Paul's daily anticipation of the return of the Lord.
He made his plans included the blessed hope.
Do you love Him and love His appearing?
