In the last sermon in the "Love vs" series Pastor Nate discusses 5 Ways to Be an All-in Father. The last section of 1 Corinthians 13 can be called “All-in” love. Paul talks about love in extremes to emphasize the unconditional aspect of love. This is why the message is titled Love Vs. Abandonment. God’s love is unconditional, unrelenting and permanent…counter-cultural to the distorted version we see in our world today which is quick to abandon, give up, find an exit.
This sermon series is based on 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. Love Vs. is a play on words, a reference to these biblical verses and a reference to the battle we face against the enemies of love. Topics for this eight-week series are: Love Versus status, hostility, envy, pride, stubbornness, resentment, corruption and abandonment. It is ultimately through our love that the world will know that we belong to Christ.
