Vaunteth / Puffed-up

Pastor Wayne Surface continues the Symphony of Love series by exploring two key characteristics of love from 1 Corinthians 13:4—that love vaunts not itself and is not puffed up. Using vivid illustrations with balloons, Pastor Wayne explains the difference between boasting about what you have and pretending to be something you’re not. The message emphasizes that true love requires humility: recognizing that all gifts and abilities come from God, serving others selflessly, and showing kindness to those struggling with insecurity. Whether you’re dealing with someone who brags constantly or struggling with your own self-image, this sermon challenges us to be filled with God’s Spirit, to humble ourselves before Him, and to love others as Christ loved us.
