1. Write Isaiah 54:5 three times. Pray for Israel today. 2. Read 1 Corinthians 13. 3. Write down your THREE takeaways from Sunday’s message. Please write it down and email it to me at theway.dwilson@gmail.com. 4. Complete the chart using 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. 5. Write down what you took from this sermon series on marriage. Use today to begin your writing and add to it each day. 1. Write Isaiah 54:5 five times. Pray for Israel today. 2. Read 1 Corinthians 13. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 3. Read my follow up letter from the Sermon Series on Marriage: November 9, 2021 So we finished the series on marriage with the main aspects being our absolute need to love the way God said love and to become more aligned with the Lord Jesus Christ in our personal walk, which will in turn greatly impact the love and intimacy in our marriage. Living and loving the way God says to live and love is not optional, nor is it up for debate. God pointed out things in His Word that we must do in our marriages and in our walk with Him if we are to be aligned with Him. There are changes we have to make if we are going to be right with God in our marriages and in our life. You may plead with God to do something and you may even plead that God will change something about you or your spouse, you may pray He change the direction and or circumstance that you are in; however, we must be very careful to obey what is written and align our life with His Word. When we refuse to do what God says, we refuse God and the peace He brings. i believe we can become too comfortable with God in how we interact and walk with Him and respond to Him. He is God almighty and He is a patient God, but WRATH lies in His arsenal, we would be much better off not to experience it. It is a dangerous place we find ourselves when we refuse God. If God has commanded something from you through this sermon series and it is contrary to what you want to change or do, then by all means pray about it, seek His Word on it, but do not refuse to do what God says do. It will cost you, your family and this church. You see, if God tells you what love is, and where your marriage is lacking love, as He defines love, and you refuse to abandon your definition, your thoughts, and your ways for His, then you are in rebellion to God and the results have proven to be disastrous in the scripture. The truth is, if you refuse the scripture, you will refuse what God is saying, and you will reap destruction in so many areas of your life. God is not asking you to love the way He described love in 1 Corinthians 13. He is demanding it. He is commanding that we live as He says live, and love as He says love. Anything less than what He says is disobedience. i am praying for our marriages in the church, i am praying for our personal walks in the church, and i am praying that the Lord Jesus Christ will be LORD in our life, not in lip service, but in the actions, and attitudes of our people. It is easy to say we love Jesus. It is more difficult for Jesus to say our love aligns with what He says is love. We all need to ask these questions? Am i patient (long suffering)? Am i kind? Do i envy? Do i parade myself? Am i puffed up? Do i behave rudely? Do i seek my own? Am i provoked? Do i think evil? Do i rejoice in iniquity? Do i rejoice in truth? Do i bear all things? Do i believe all things? Do i endure all things? Your answers to these questions matter, they matter to God and they matter to all those you claim to love. God is love and we are to strive to be like HIM. If i am not patient, then i must strive to be patient. i must work diligently to be patient, and so is the same for everything listed above. None of us are above this, and this applies to us all. No one is exempt. No, not even you. i have found in my brief years of ministry that those who have the most difficulty in transformation are those who can never ever be wrong. The Word of God is penned by a perfect God for an imperfect people, taught by a Holy Spirit that never ceases to teach, convict, rebuke. However, some can become so callused to the teaching of this Spirit that to admit they are wrong, and that they need constant work and surrender, never happens. The result is a life in constant want and deeper need for intimacy. Intimacy comes through obedience. Obedience is never obedience, if it is done kicking and screaming. Obedience to God involves reverence for who He is. Obedience to God REQUIRES reverence to who He is. There are some who believe that they can walk the way they want to with God. They believe they make up their own rules. They do things their way. i am not here to tell those individuals they cannot walk that way; however; i will tell you all this, GOD WILL NOT WALK BY YOUR RULES. You and those around you will suffer when you fail to surrender to who He is in your life, and walk under the authority or who He is. Your marriage needs you to say I hear you God and I will. Your family needs to hear you say, I hear you God and I will. Your church needs to hear you to say, I hear you God and I will. All of the above need you to mean, I hear you God and I will. Anything less will be exhausting and destructive!!! May our lives, our marriages, our families, our church, every aspect of our life reflect the love God defines and demands in 1 Corinthians 13. Let the Words of this scripture direct everything you do and say! dw 4. Highlight underline and write on the letter above. 5. Write three takeaways from the letter. 6.

But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.

Complete the chart using 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. 4.

Pray for Israel today. 2. Read 1 Corinthians 13. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 3.
