Read 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

What stands out to you in this first few verses?

Paul was pretty strong minded about how essential love is.  Why do you think that is?

Are you surprised that Paul is writing to a church chastising them for the way they are behaving and reminding them to love? why or why not?

Why do you think sometimes church people let their opinions get in the way of love?

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

What characteristic of love do you admire the most?  Why?

What characteristic of love do you have the hardest time following?  Why?

 Jon said in the message,  "You don't fall in love or out of love, because love is more that just feelings.  Love is a choice."   Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not.

Paul  states that, "Love never fails..."   How does that make you feel.  Why do you feel that way?

Paul also states later in this chapter, "Faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love."  Why do you think he feels this way?  Do you feel this same way?
