Chesterton once said, "Love means to love that which is unlovable... or it is no virtue at all." In the first half of 1 Corinthians 13:4 Paul gives us a glorious introduction to 'what real love really is' by saying the Father's love, and therefore the love the Spirit bears as His "fruit" within us {Gal. 5:22-23}, is unbelievably "patient" and incredibly "kind."

In this teaching, Pastor Ric looks at the tenderness of Jesus' love and deals with two distinct aspects of patience: resolution and perseverance. Our commitment to Christ's Kingdom, to something more important than ourselves, and perseverance in our resolve. These equal patience in the Long Run of our lives.
