How else do we know?

First of all, a word of explanation, followed by an apology.

This Sunday may sound different in the “physical” audio but will also begin much differently than usual because I did not preach at St. Mark’s in Moose Jaw but rather at Trinity Presbyterian, in Grenfell. Grenfell is about a hundred kilometres east of Regina. I had a lovely time with a congregation of lovely people. The sermon below is the result.

The sermon comes from the idea that true love is to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Doing so will certainly demonstrate your love but, as the sermon title asks, how else can we know how we are loved or how we love?
