Sermon #481
*Note* This sermon was recorded in the Hudson UMC Parsonage during a Facebook Live broadcast of the Ebenezer UMC Sunday service, January 30, 2022. The Friday and Saturday before, South Jersey experienced a winter Nor'Easter and the in-person service was cancelled. Consequently the audio will sound a little off.
In the English language we have only one word for "love," though it has many different shades. Conversely, in Koine Greek there are four words that denote different types of love - Storge, Eros, Philia, and Agape. It is this last type that is our focus today, from the so-called Love Chapter (1 Corinthians 13), where we find the most comprehensive and complete definition and description of Agape love. Though this passage is often read at weddings, the type of love it describes is a Godly love, a transcendent love, a love that is sacrificial - in other words, the love that God showed to us in the cross of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
S.D.G.
