When Love Doesn’t Fix the Pain

Summary

The sermon's main theme is that real love and relationships are not always perfect, contrasting idealized social media portrayals with the messy realities of life. It draws on the Old Testament story of Hannah and Elkanah from 1 Samuel 1, who faced trials like infertility and marital conflict despite their faith. The practical takeaway is that enduring love requires commitment, kindness, forgiveness, and the understanding that faithfulness to God and each other, even amidst struggles, is always worth fighting for.
