Willing The Good Of The Other
March 9, 2025 Preacher: Brandon Addison Series: Stand Alone
Topic: love Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1–13
What truly drives you? What motivates your actions? In this deep dive into 1 Corinthians 13, we explore the biblical definition of love—not as a fleeting emotion but as a conscious act of "willing the good of the other." Using thought-provoking comparisons, including Walter White’s self-awareness in Breaking Bad and Nietzsche’s critique of morality, we contrast cultural views of love with the biblical foundation that shapes Christian theology.
Paul’s powerful message to the Corinthians challenges us to evaluate whether our faith, wisdom, and sacrifice are truly rooted in love—or in self-interest. This sermon unpacks how love is central to the Christian life, surpassing even faith and hope.
