Faith, Hope and Love: Love 1 Corinthians 13:13

Writing of the character of the church in those early centuries, Pastor Rick Harrington notes: the early church practiced radical love, a love that stood out to the world around them. When the world takes notice, they [listen to] the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's talk about love.
