Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

The Characteristics of True Love

In this message from the Relationship Series, Pastor John K. Jenkins, Sr. challenges believers to examine the difference between genuine love and lust, emphasizing that love is not simply a feeling but a choice demonstrated through our actions. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, he explores the characteristics of true love, including patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, selflessness, and endurance. He encourages us to evaluate our relationships and recognize that lasting love focuses on the well-being of others rather than personal happiness or physical attraction. Ultimately, Pastor reminds us that Jesus Christ is the perfect example of unconditional love, demonstrating His love through His sacrifice on the cross and His power to transform our lives.
