In this week’s sermon, Pastor Putnam delivers a timely and deeply challenging message titled “Love vs. Love.” Speaking into a culture saturated with sentimental and self-centered ideas of love, Pastor Putnam draws a sharp and biblical contrast between the world’s definition of love and the transforming, covenantal love of God. Using Valentine’s Day as a cultural backdrop, this message exposes the emptiness of emotion-driven, convenience-based love and points listeners to the enduring power of Christlike love found in Scripture. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Putnam walks verse-by-verse through the defining attributes of true love—patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, perseverance, and truth—revealing how essential these qualities are to authentic Christian living. This teaching challenges believers to examine not just what they believe, but how they love. Listeners are reminded that spiritual gifts, knowledge, sacrifice, and even faith itself are meaningless without love flowing from God’s heart. Biblical love, Pastor Putnam explains, is not self-seeking, easily offended, or record-keeping—but is rooted in commitment, grace, and surrender. It is a central truth: real love cannot be manufactured by human effort. It must be received from God and lived out through His Spirit. Whether addressing wounds from the past, struggles with anger, pride, or unforgiveness, this message offers hope, healing, and a call to allow God’s love to reshape the heart. A call to reject counterfeit love and embrace the agape love of Christ that restores relationships, transforms lives, and reflects the gospel to the world.
