In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul defines a love that is not subjective or self-defined but is God's established standard for how His people are to engage the world. This five-week series opens by focusing on the first quality Paul names — patience (makrothumia, or long-suffering) — arguing that genuine, adult-level love requires understanding others deeply, remembering how patient God has been with us, and choosing unity over uniformity even across significant differences of gifting, personality, background, and conviction.
