A sermon preached by Rev. Brent J. Eelman. If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. The question was asked of me recently by a younger member of the congregation. I believe that she was struggling with a reality that has been with followers of Jesus throughout history. Perhaps she saw some individuals arguing in church. Perhaps she had an argument with a friend.
