1 Corinthians 12:25-3125 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians 12:25-3128 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1 Corinthians 12:25-3130 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
1 Corinthians 12:25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. There Should Be “No Schism”
1 Corinthians 12:25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. There Should Be Care For One Another

MANY CHURCHES TODAY ARE AS COLD AS ICE • They are full of divisions (schisms) • They lack genuine compassion for people • They don’t keep the main thing the main thing • They are content with mediocrity
THREE REASONS CHURCHES BECOME COLD AS ICE Because Talk Is Cheap!
TALK IS CHEAP! 1 Corinthians 13:1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
TALK IS CHEAP! You might say: “I Talk In Tongues”
TALK IS CHEAP! My question is:“How Do You Talk To People?”
TALK IS CHEAP! What You SayWith Your Mouth, To Men, Women, Boys And Girls, Matters Most!
TALK IS CHEAP! Religious Speak Is Cheap! • Not Real • Not Caring • Not Going The Extra Mile • Not Making The Extra Effort
THREE REASONS CHURCHES BECOME COLD AS ICE Because Of Information Overload!
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! 1 Corinthians 13:2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! Knowledge & WisdomIs To Be Shared! • Not Stored Up • Not Shoved Down • Not Stoical (without emotion or passion)
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! Our Messages Are Supposed To Help People
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! They Need To Be Understood
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! They Need To Be ‘Real To Life’
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! They Need To Be ‘Biblical’
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! CAUTION:Saying That His Word “Won’t Return Void” Ain’t Enough!
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! CAUTION: That’s A Cop-Out!
INFORMATION OVERLOAD! Creativity & Enthusiasm Is Huge! CAUTION:
THREE REASONS CHURCHES BECOME COLD AS ICE Because Of Dead Sacrifice!
DEAD SACRIFICE! 1 Corinthians 13:3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
DEAD SACRIFICE! Romans 12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
DEAD SACRIFICE! Giving Without Love Is Cruel & Weird
DEAD SACRIFICE! Sacrifice Without Sincerity Is Dead
DEAD SACRIFICE! It Does NothingFor You That Is Of Lasting Significance
DEAD SACRIFICE! Listen To Jesus… Matthew 7:21-2321 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
DEAD SACRIFICE! Listen To Jesus… Matthew 7:21-2322 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
DEAD SACRIFICE! Listen To Jesus… Matthew 7:21-2323 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
DEAD SACRIFICE! Also… 1 Corinthians 3:13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
LOVE MAKES A CHURCH HOT! Fellowship Should Be A Place Where…
