This sermon emphasizes the importance of selfless love as the defining characteristic of a Christian, drawing parallels between human acts of sacrifice and Jesus's ultimate love. It suggests that while adherence to rules and rituals is important, the capacity for genuine, unconditional love is the true measure of discipleship and the foundation for spiritual growth, both individually and as a community. Pr. Kern uses various anecdotes and metaphors to illustrate that a church or individual can only grow as much as their minimum supply of love allows, warning against superficiality and the dangers of transactional relationships. Ultimately, the message highlights that love, forgiveness, and unity are paramount in the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment and reaching others.
