We continue our dissection of 1 Corinthians 13 by looking around how love is not easily angered. When our frustrations are not kept in moderation, we allow ourselves to give the enemy a foothold, not operating out of godly love but out of our carnal flesh through anger. In this sermon, Pastor Matthew will teach how Christ set the appropriate example, and how, through His willing sacrifice, Jesus satisfied God's justified wrath against our sin.
