Derrick Parks, Pastor and Church Planter of Epiphany Church of Wilmington, brings the worship message based on 1 Corinthians 13:4a, 7. Demonstrating love in a hostile world requires patience; that is, persevering and suffering long because people are messy. Loving hostile people requires kindness, which is more than being "nice." Kindness is being useful and benevolent toward others. Loving someone who is hostile means bearing all things; that is, pointing that person to the Saviour who protects and covers. Finally, loving in a hostile world requires knowing how to endure with people, keeping pace while carrying the light of Christ.
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.
As we continue Ruth: An [Extra]Ordinary Love Story, this week Pastor Matthew McNutt shares “Love In a Hopeless Place.” In a risky move, Ruth and Boaz kindle their love and commit toward one another. We dive deeper into chessed (loving kindness) and get a glimpse of the pursuing love of God. The sermon context is from Ruth 3.

From Series: "Ruth: An [Extra]Ordinary Love Story"
The book of Ruth gives us a real-life love story far greater than any Hollywood movie. Not only do we see what unconditional love looks like, we also will see how the story of Ruth points to the story of the Gospel. In this verse-by-verse study, we will explore the depths of God’s redemptive love ultimately displayed in Jesus Christ.
