As we come to the end of our study of 1 Cor. 16, we remember Paul’s talking about being steadfast & immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord. (ch15:58) in verses 1-4, Paul shows us the work of the Lord is to fund churches that gather on Sunday, the 1^st day of the week. True disciples want to give time as well as money and so reveal their true worship.

In verses 5-11, we see our work is to Evangelize & Disciple.  This week, in verses 12-24, we see that doing the work of the Lord is 2 more things. It’s Growing & Loving! We see 10 ways to grow & be devoted to one another in brotherly love and so grow up as a church.

Be taught, be rebuked, be corrected, be trained, in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16) and so be encouraged today by God’s Word.

For God’s Glory.
