The Heart of Christ in the Heart of Loveland: The Heart That Longs to Do More

The First United Presbyterian Church “The Heart of Christ in the Heart of Loveland: The Heart of Longing” Rev. Amy Morgan October 28, 2018 Listen to audio 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.  9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part;  10 but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end.  11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.  12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.  13 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love. Psalm 84 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!  2 My soul longs, indeed it fain...

Matthew 22:34-40 34 When the Phari...

The First United Presbyterian Church “The Heart of Christ in the Heart of Loveland: The Heart That Gives Life” Rev. Amy Morgan October 14, 2018 Listen to audio 1 Corinthians 12:4-7; 12-18; 26-27 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;  5 and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord;  6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.  7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.  13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.  14 Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.  15 If the foot would say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any...
