Love
What if the most quoted passage in wedding ceremonies is actually saying something far bigger than romance? In the first message of the new series "Love Hope Faith," Pastor Sarah opens in 1 Corinthians 13 and asks us to look again at words we think we already know. Paul's letter to the church in Corinth is not a love poem. It is a vision of the highest ideal of human life: agape, the unconditional, selfless love of God that we were made from and made for.
Through the four Greek words for love, a mother caring for two nonverbal children, and the story of a man with dementia who recognized his wife of 63 years at her casket, Pastor Sarah makes the case that agape love is not a feeling. It is millions of daily choices, fueled by a God whose love never runs out. The purpose of life, she says simply, is love.
