Thrive In the Word

Prophecy reveals the heart of God to people. Its purpose is to edify, encourage, and comfort.

Faith, hope, and love are experienced here on Earth, but in Heaven they will be made complete.

For now we see imperfectly, but someday we will see Jesus face to face, and all will be revealed.

We do not know everything at present, but all things will be revealed in time—either when we go to Heaven or at the return of Jesus.

The love God has for us will never fail. All other gifts will one day cease.

Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

Unbecoming love may look right on the outside, but it is false. True love always seeks the best for others.

When you truly understand God’s love for us, it transforms your heart and causes you to love others.

Agape love is unconditional. God’s love toward us is patient and kind, and His expectation is that we extend that same love to others.

Love is the most essential thing in the church. If you have all the gifts but lack love, you are only making noise.

All nine gifts and all the ministries were given to the church to build and strengthen the body and are to be operated in love.

We are not all given the same gifts, but God has placed gifts in each one of us according to His purpose.

God Himself has set ministries in the church—helps, administrations, and various kinds of tongues—each serving an important purpose.

Apostles, prophets, teachers, and every gift given to each believer are appointed to us by God.

We are Christ’s body, made up of many individuals, each one set in place by God.

As one body, we are working together for the kingdom of God; therefore, pray for and care for all the members.

Give honor and value to every member of the body of Christ, especially those whose faithful service happens behind the scenes.
