This week, Pastor Eric Byrom is jumping ahead to 1 Corinthians 16.  We will then jump back to chapter 15 for Palm Sunday and Easter because it deals with the topic of the resurrection.  In looking at Paul's last remarks, we see him bringing it all back around to the idea of doing everything in love.  We see him relating love to how we give, how we make plans and how we treat leaders.
