A Study of 1 Corinthians 13 by Stephen Davey

What is true love—and how can you live it out in a world full of counterfeit versions? In Will True Love Please Stand Up, Stephen Davey walks you through the most famous passage on love in the Bible, exposing cultural myths and revealing the practical, gritty, God-glorifying reality of biblical love. This series is for anyone who wants to love like Jesus—in marriage, friendships, leadership, or ministry. It’s not sentimental. It’s sacrificial. And it changes everything.

This 8-part series includes:

Part 1 – The Missing Ingredient
Without love, every act of sacrifice, generosity, or service amounts to nothing. This opening message sets the stage for why love is essential to the Christian life.

Part 2 – Love at First Sight
Love isn’t just a feeling. Stephen begins unpacking the 15 action verbs in 1 Corinthians 13, showing that real love is patient, kind, and rooted in grace.

Part 3 – Surprised by the Appearances of Love
True love often shows up in unexpected places—with difficult people, in stressful situations, and through surprising acts of kindness .

Part 4 – Refusing to Be Pig-Headed People
Love isn’t jealous, boastful, or arrogant. This message confronts the pride that ruins relationships and shows how humility reshapes how we treat others .

Part 5 – Uncommonly Rare… Undeniably Real
Three uncommon marks of love—courtesy, concern, and control—form the foundation of godly relationships in a selfish world .

Part 6 – Keeping Erasers Handy
Love keeps no record of wrongs. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive, this powerful message offers both conviction and encouragement .

Part 7 – Capturing Love’s Attention
Love doesn’t rejoice in wrongdoing, but delights in the truth. Stephen explores how what we celebrate reveals what we love—and why that matters .

Part 8 – Beyond Puppy Love
True love lasts. This closing message outlines five enduring qualities of love that bear burdens, believe the best, hope faithfully, and never quit .
