Hey everybody, I'm Tim McEy and this is my podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.

I am a card carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is

utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

On this podcast I'm putting together the last ten years worth of lectures and sermons

where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites

us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

And I hope this can be helpful for you too.

I also help start this thing called the Bible Project.

We make animated videos and podcasts about all kinds of topics in Bible and theology.

You can find those resources at thebibelproject.com.

With all that said, let's dive into the episode for this week.

Alright, well this is a standalone teaching episode.

It represents a contribution that I made to a short series at Door of Hope when I was a

pastor there a number of years ago.

Just a short series on 1 Corinthians 13, which is known as the famous love chapter among

the Apostle Paul's letters.

He goes on this beautiful poem where he describes the nature and concept of Christian love.

The word love means in a Christian's vocabulary.

And this teaching in particular was on the central part of 1 Corinthians 13.

It's the famous love poems.

And if you've ever heard a really beautiful touching biblical something about love at a

wedding that's read aloud, odds are it was from this very chapter right here.
