In the sixth message of our series, Nathan explored Love: The Spirit’s Lifestyle, framing love as the essential "form" of all other spiritual virtues. He revisited his "juicy mango" analogy, challenging the congregation to offer their best character to others—including those who are difficult—without expecting anything in return.  Drawing on C.S. Lewis, Nathan distinguished between conditional "natural loves" and the sacrificial Agape love enabled by the Spirit, noting that "consumer love" only seeks personal benefit. He used 1 Corinthians 13 to emphasise that while spiritual gifts are necessary tools for the church, they are meaningless without the eternal priority of love. Ultimately, Nathan reminded the church that a lifestyle of love serves as the "introduction to Jesus" for everyone they encounter.
