The story of Agape is worth celebrating because God’s fingerprints are all over it. It is the story written by God for His glory.

• The awesome thing is that the same kind of miraculous provision that we have seen in the last two years have been the

or the norm for how God has worked rather than something new.
• We’ve celebrated the past, after lunch we are going to celebrate a big part of the future.
• So, as we come around the Word of God today, what does God have for us?
• Let’s look at 1 Corinthians 3 and let the Word guide us.

1 Corinthians 3:7-9 | So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

• Paul planted the church in Corinth during one of his

journeys.
• The first letter that we have that Paul writes to the Corinthians represents his response to situations in the church. But it also represents his rebuke over how they have failed to keep the main thing, the main thing.
• Whenever we believe something other than the truth, even a distortion of the truth, we ourselves of the transformation that the truth can bring.
• Believing the truth gives , sets us free, and nurtures spiritual growth in God’s presence.
• The lie that the Corinthians were believing was that certain could get your more status or get you closer to God. But that isn’t true. Trusting in Christ alone gets you as close to God as you will ever need to be. (vv. 7-8)
• But what truth was the lie preventing them from seeing?

// V. 9 >> The gifts that God has given preachers, teachers, and leaders are about equipping you for the purpose God has for you.
// You are God’s field – that is where the harvest comes!
// You are God’s building – an architectural wonder that magnifies His creativity, power, and design!

• God wants you to find your

, to sense His , and you to feel the momentum of His purposes and grace pressing you towards .

Psalm 126:3 | The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

Hebrews 3:7-8 | Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…”
