As we are continuing to unpack what it means to "Study, Imitate and Share Jesus," pastoral elder Eric Byrom is looking at the virtues of Faith, Hope and Love this week.  He will be looking at 1 Corinthians 13. If you wish to do a deeper dive, look up where the words, faith, hope and love are used elsewhere in the New Testament.  This is a deep study and will yield great fruit.  Some other useful passages in this that you could look into are: 1 Thess. 1:3; 1 John 4:19; and Rom 5:1-5.  It would also be beneficial to look at the 10 Commandments, the Apostle's Creed and the Lord's Prayer in preparation as well.
