The Death of Death (Keith Sparrow) | Imperfect Series (K)
These are 9 of the most encouraging verses in scripture. Jesus has defeated sin and death. If we are in Christ death no longer needs to hold any fear for us. Because Jesus has defeated death, no matter what this mortal life may bring, we can be “steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work because we know that our labour in the Lord is not in vain.”

A Message on Love for Weddings and Wednesdays (1 Corinthians 13:1-13) | Imperfect
Although this text is most commonly associated with weddings Paul’s instruction here is not limited to how husbands and wives ought to love one another. In this chapter Paul is laying out a definition of love that is meant to be applied not only to how believers relate to their spouses but in all their relationships.
Sermon Notes:
- A More Excellent Way
- “…if it alone is kept, it is sufficient.”
- Eloquence without love is nothing
- Prophecy knowledge and faith without love are nothing
- Altruism and sacrifice without love is nothing
- The measure of true spirituality is never the gifts of the Spirit. The true measure of spirituality is the fruit of the Spirit.
- “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
- Love Never Fails
- You are fully known
- Love is the Greatest

How to be a Friend (Proverbs 18:24, Proverbs 27:5-6, John 15:12-13)
At the core of true friendship is commitment and a willingness to be open and transparent. Friendship is developed over time, is strengthened through sacrifice, and is deepened through honesty. The cost involved in being a friend involves putting ourselves aside for the sake of another person and being willing to place our trust in another person. As we learn to do those things we not only grow as friends, we grow as Christ followers.
