    Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 21, 2025
     | 367 views

    Aphrodite, like so much of what the world worships, is a false god offering a very false and imperfect form of love. Versus the one true God that we believe in representing TRUE LOVE. Today we are going to be studying “The Love Chapter,” as it is called. 1 Corinthians chapter 13.

    INTRODUCTION: Over the last two Sundays we have been exploring what the Bible says about love… specifically the kind of love that God demonstrates for us, gives to us, and is for us. We talked about how there are different forms of love, some very shallow and feeling based, some that are more ...read more

    Believers are to engage an idol-filled modern culture with the same wisdom, compassion, and courageous clarity Paul displayed in Athens—understanding people’s longings, building bridges to the truth, and faithfully proclaiming the risen Christ!
