About this listen
What if the deepest acts of love sometimes look like correction? In Pastor Evan's message from 1 Corinthians 4:14-21, he reveals how Paul's fatherly heart for the Corinthian church mirrors God's approach to His children – not to shame, but to shape. Pastor Evan illustrates how correction delivered with love becomes an avenue for growth rather than condemnation. He emphasizes that true spiritual formation happens through both truth and tenderness, drawing from Paul's example of being a spiritual father who models Christ-like living. The message challenges us to move beyond mere surface-level Christianity to authentic discipleship where correction and affection coexist, reminding us that God's discipline flows from His deep love for us. Pastor Evan concludes with an urgent call to create a church culture where people can "look up" in faith rather than hiding in shame, knowing they are loved children of a perfect Father who corrects to restore, not to condemn.
