LEADER: This is the Word of God
CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God
SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a (NKJV)
The Greatest Gift
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, but have not love, I have become sounding
brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And 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, but have not love, I am
nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and though I give my body to be
burned,[a]but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does
not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not
provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
things.
8 Love never fails.

RESPONSIVE READING 1 Corinthians 12:12-18 (NKJV)
LEADER: For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
CONG: For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
LEADER: For in fact the body is not one member but many.
CONG: If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
LEADER: If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
ALL: But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.

O HOW I LOVE JESUS
There is a name I love to hear, love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music to mine ear, The sweetest name on earth.
Chorus:
O, how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, Because He first Loved me!
It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.
It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part, That none can bear below.

Special Giving Above Tithe and Offering
“The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:32
Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips? The word tithe means to give back to God one tenth of your earnings for the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.
If you earn
You owe the Lord
$10 $1
$50 $5
$75 $7.50
$100 $10
$200 $20

“I like to have fun and be funny, but I am much more a thinker.”
Keenan Ivory Wayans - (June 8, 1958)
An American actor, comedian, filmmaker, and a member of the Wayans
Family of entertainers. He first came to prominence as the host and co-creator
of the 1990–1994 sketch comedy series In Living Color. He has produced,
directed and/or written a large number of films, starting with Hollywood Shuffle, which
he co-wrote, in 1987. A majority of these films have included him and one or more of his
brothers and sisters in the cast. One of these films, Scary Movie (2000), which Wayans
directed, and at one time, was the highest-grossing movie ever directed by an African
American. From 1997 to 1998, he hosted the talk show The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show.
In the past few years he was a judge for the eighth season of Last Comic Standing.
“Certain things should be yours to have when you work your way to the top.”
Red Foxx - (December 9, 1922 – October 11, 1991)
Born John Elroy Sanford, Red Foxx was an American comedian and actor,
best remembered for his explicit comedy records and his starring role on
the 1970s sitcom Sanford and Son. Foxx gained notoriety with his raunchy
nightclub acts during the 1950s and 1960s. Known as the "King of the
Party Records", he performed on more than 50 records in his lifetime. He also starred in
Sanford, The Redd Foxx Show and The Royal Family. His film roles included All the Fine
Young Cannibals (1960) and Harlem Nights (1989). In 2004, Comedy Central Presents:
100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time ranked Foxx as the 24th best stand-up comedian. Foxx
not only influenced many comedians, but was often portrayed in popular culture as well,
mainly as a result of his famous catchphrases, body language and facial expressions
exhibited on Sanford and Son.
“Making people laugh is what I've been doing since I was like four or five
years old. I still have a lust, I still have a passion. I don't care about how I
look, I'm dedicated to the laughs.”
Bernie Mac - (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008)
Born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough in Chicago, IL, Bernie Mac was an actor
and comedian. Growing up in a large family on Chicago's South Side, his grandfather was
the deacon of a Baptist church in Chicago. Mac performed his first standup routine at the
age of eight, impersonating his grandparents at the dinner table for the church
congregation. After losing his mother to cancer (his brother, father and grandmother died
not long after), Mac realized the healing power of laughter. He began telling jokes for
spare change in the Chicago subway. While working various odd jobs, he eventually
established his own weekly variety show at Chicago's Regal Theatre and joined the
comedy club circuit in 1977. However his biggest success was The Bernie Mac Show,
which debuted in 2001 to instant acclaim. However, soon after the series ended, Mac's
health took a turn for the worse. He developed sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease which
causes inflammation in the lungs. On August 9, 2008, after weeks of unsuccessful
treatments, Bernie Mac died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He was 50.
