February 22, 2026 - Love's Authentic Nature and How It's Expressed - Pastor Paul Vallee

What does biblical ministry really look like? How can we identify the real thing? When do we know when something is authentic? We know that in life, we all will suffer. Some suffer more than others. Some suffer because of their own folly. But others suffer because of their concern for others. Paul, in appealing to the genuineness of his ministry and message, will give us insight into the authentic nature of love and how it is expressed. We certainly see evidence in Jesus’ life. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, said these powerful words in the upper room, speaking of what he was about to endure.  John 15:13 - "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." We know the ultimate expression of love was given by God. Christ gave his life for us to reconcile us to God. There are three things expressed in 2 Corinthians 6:1-13 that will reveal to us this authentic love and how that love is expressed.
