Manage episode 380700832 series 3348383
In this week's sermon, Pastor Tyler Lynde dissects the intricate relationship between truth and love as part of our series, "Can We Talk? Addressing The Uncomfortable." Tyler delves into Ephesians 4:11-16 and shares the story of a 'screaming preacher' to illustrate the discord when truth and love are out of balance. The sermon explores the functionality of the five ministry gifts provided by Jesus, emphasizing their role in equipping the church to live like Him. Using the example of a woman caught in adultery from John 8:2-11, Tyler navigates the complex interplay between truth, love, and religious manipulation. The sermon concludes by discussing the essence of church discipline, conducted in love with the end goal being restoration. Dive deeper into this transformative journey of love, truth, and the Jesus way of life.
