We are recognizing the summer
of love this Summer at Cornerstone by focusing on 1 Corinthians 13. And each week we’ve been taking the time to
read the entire passage together.
Because it’s really important and if you don’t remember anything else
this summer we want you to remember 1 Corinthians 13. This morning we are going to read the

Those in the know tell us that
this robe not only showed Joseph’s standing but also bestowed special

Right from the account of the

get four chapters into the bible and you see Cain killing his brother
Abel.

I Love the story told about
the little boy in Sunday School class, the teacher was focusing on the Ten
Commandments and asked the class “Are there any commandments about how we
should treat our brothers and sisters?”
The class sat and thought for a while and a little guy put up his hand
and said “Thou shalt not kill?”

obviously missed that class because the original plan was to drop Joseph down a

technically they wouldn’t be killing him, Instead he gets a last minute
reprieve when they sold him into slavery for 20 pieces of silver.

And so it begins with the
resentment they felt toward the younger brother. It Started as a Feeling That’s why Jesus warned people in Matthew
5:21-22 “You have heard that our
ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are
subject to judgment.’ But I say, if you
are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone
an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse
someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.
