Kevin began week 4 of the summer worship series focusing on 1 Corinthians 13, specifically verses 4 through 7, highlighting how familiarity with these verses can lead to overlooking their true meaning. Kevin delivered a sermon on 1 Corinthians 13, focusing on what love has to do with pride and hierarchical competition. He explained how human society and even animals like baboons function through hierarchical comparison and competition, with individuals constantly vying for status and power. Kevin discussed how Jesus’s disciples argued about who would be greatest, reflecting this innate human desire for ascension in social hierarchy. He distinguished between pride and humility, noting that humility is not the opposite of pride but rather the antidote to it, and that the true opposite of pride is shame. Kevin emphasized that God’s love makes all humanity unsurpassably equal, eliminating the need for hierarchical competition, and concluded that winning the internal battle against pride requires community support and coming together as people of equal worth rather than competing for status.
