Where AI Fails

Summary

The sermon explores the role of emotions in the Christian life, using the backdrop of artificial intelligence's limitations to highlight the unique human capacity for spiritual affection.

The key takeaway is that spiritual affections are like the "engine" of Christian commitment, not merely an afterthought, and represent a profoundly human experience that cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence.
