The Apostle Paul speaks in absolute clauses regarding the qualities of godly love. Perhaps, if we were writing from our own experiences, we would say that love sometimes protects, occasionally trusts, and rarely hopes. But Paul had absolute confidence in the reliability of God’s agape love. Join Pastor Matthew Guest as he shows how God's love always protects, trusts, and hopes!

We continue our dissection of 1 Corinthians 13 by looking around how love is not easily angered.

In this sermon, Pastor Matthew will teach how Christ set the appropriate example, and how, through His willing sacrifice, Jesus satisfied God's justified wrath against our sin.
