Episode Synopsis

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (1 Corinthians 13:10) 1/ The illustrations used to show the difference between the church on earth and that in Heaven. 2/ That which is done away and that enjoyed in Heaven. 3/ That which is not done away but remains through time and eternity. This sermon was preached at Oakington Strict Baptist Chapel, England, following the death of their Elder, Lance Morley and before his funeral on the following Tuesday. *Sermon Summary:* The sermon explores the contrast between earthly knowledge and the boundless understanding awaiting believers in heaven, drawing from 1 Corinthians 13. It emphasizes that while spiritual gifts, prophecies, and even earthly knowledge will fade, the enduring nature of love—God's unwavering affection and the love believers share—will remain eternal. Through illustrations like the incomplete knowledge of earthly education and the contrast between a child's perspective and that of an adult, the message highlights the limitations of earthly experience and the promise of a future where faith, hope, and love culminate in perfect communion with God.
