Truth and Love

August 27, 2017 - 2 Corinthians 1:23 - 2:11

August 27, 2017 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

Truth and love from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. We’re called to be doing life together. For this season of our lives, God has placed us together. We’re forming an alternate community to the madness in the world so that the lost and weary can see a better way. The loving life of the church is the witness to the God who is love. We’re called to be a body growing organically. We’re called to a vivid life of shedding tears for each other, of laughing together over the wonder of our savior, of knowing abundant joy and abounding forgiveness. This is the way God decided to do it. To create his church in the midst of all the messy conflicts, the predictable failings and the constant striving. It takes work. It takes faithful commitment. But we know, deep in our bones, that this is the community we long for in a lonely world. This is the struggle and the joy of belonging to each other in Christ.
