Manage episode 336352287 series 3187289
"There is a tension that exists between the reality of the kingdom of God, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the realities of the broken world we live in," Zack says in his introduction to this message. This tension is the already but not yet of the Kingdom, which is ultimately what the Apostle Paul is talking about in this middle section of 1 Corinthians 13. We live in the promise, given spiritual gifts and love to work in the world while we wait for its fulfillment in the return of Jesus.
About the series: the reality of life is there is no life apart from relationships. Your relationships might be with stuff, not people, but your life is relating itself to STUFF. So our heart and our goal in this series is to just be at a place where we ask the hard questions, we get into the space of trying to understand what is love really like. Now when you get into scripture, scripture has a lot of stuff to say about love. So we are are looking at some few amazing things that God has said in his word in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 of what love is."
