This week at PLCC, Pastor Joel led us through the final section of 1 Corinthians 14 with a powerful reminder: God's Spirit brings both grace and order.* What does it mean to worship and serve “decently and in order”?* How can spiritual gifts edify rather than confuse?* Why must love be the motivation behind every word, every act, every gathering?We were challenged to grow in maturity—not just in knowledge or gifting, but in love that edifies others and reflects the peaceful, orderly nature of God. Paul’s instructions to the Corinthian church highlight the beauty of a Spirit-led community: one where each person is prepared to contribute, speak words that strengthen others, and come not just to receive—but to give.Let’s pursue love, walk in grace, and reflect the order of the God we serve.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

At the heart of today’s message is Paul’s challenge to the church: pursue love with urgency, even as you desire spiritual gifts. Christian Daniel takes us through 1 Corinthians 14:1–19, unpacking the purpose and place of tongues and prophecy within the body of Christ.Love is not a bonus feature of the Christian life—it is the *foundation*. Without love, our gifts are noise; with love, even five simple words can build up the church. As we grow in our spiritual gifts, we’re reminded that the ultimate goal is not personal expression, but communal edification. We don’t use our gifts for self, but for others—because love always puts others first.* Pursue love as if your life depends on it—because it does.* Desire spiritual gifts, but never apart from love.* Let all you do—whether prophecy, tongues, or silence—be for the good of your brother or sister in Christ.This sermon brings a powerful call to action: how will you intentionally pursue love this week?🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this powerful message titled*"A More Excellent Way," Pastor Joel continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, turning from the gifts of the Spirit in chapter 12 to the heart of the kingdom in chapter 13—love.

While spiritual gifts are vital and miraculous, Paul makes it clear that without love, they mean nothing. Love is not merely a feeling or a poetic idea—it is the essence of who God is, the defining trait of Christ, and the mark of true discipleship. Pastor Joel unpacks what love is, what it is not, and how we are called to live it out—not just receive it, but to reflect it.

* Christ-centered gifts must be rooted in love to bear fruit
* Love is patient, kind, humble, enduring—and it never fails
* Without love, our faith, generosity, and even martyrdom profit nothing
* God's Spirit bears the fruit of love in us when we walk in His grace
* Love is the only eternal force that will never cease

If we want to be a church that glorifies God, we must walk in this love. Let us renew our commitment to live out our faith in a way that reflects the heart of Christ to one another and to the world around us.
