Manage episode 336352289 series 3187289
Coming to us from our our sister church in Lilongwe as we swapped preachers for a weekend, Pastor Humphreys Mkandawire closes out the "descriptions of love" section of 1 Corinthians 13. He begins by calling us to recognize that the way the Apostle Paul speaks of love turns our search for it on its head: it is not for us to ask "Is that person trustworthy? Can I trust YOU?" but instead for us to ask "Am I trustworthy? Can that person trust me?" Christ, and the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13, call us not to look for these qualities of love in others, but ask ourselves if we are offering these qualities to others.
About the series: the reality of life is there is no life apart from relationships. Your relationships might be with stuff, not people, but your life is relating itself to STUFF. So our heart and our goal in this series is to just be at a place where we ask the hard questions, we get into the space of trying to understand what is love really like. Now when you get into scripture, scripture has a lot of stuff to say about love. So we are are looking at some few amazing things that God has said in his word in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 of what love is."
