his inspiring sermon, delivered on All Saints’ Sunday, reflects on the kind of love that defines true Christian faith—a love that is not passive but active, demonstrated in how we treat one another and work toward reconciliation.
Drawing from passages such as Romans 14:19 and Hebrews 12:14, Pastor Clement emphasized that believers are called to pursue peace and strive for restoration in every relationship. Love is not simply affection or feeling; it means working through conflict, forgiving others, and seeking harmony even when it takes effort. Restoration is the ultimate goal, and it is achieved not by ignoring differences but by facing them with grace and truth.
Pastor Clement reminded us that our God is a God of love and peace. As His followers, we are invited to embody that love in the way we care for one another, seeking restoration, committing to reconciliation, and upholding peace within the Body of Christ. This is a journey that requires humility—a willingness to forgive, to repent, and to always assume the best about one another.
The sermon challenged listeners to live out their faith in practical ways: by refusing to engage in gossip or drama, by actively seeking healing in broken relationships, and by striving to make peace even when it is hard. Pastor Clement’s message was clear: the love that works is the love that makes Jesus visible in our church family and beyond.
May this message encourage each one of us to love not just with words but through our actions, making the church a place marked by grace, restoration, and the peace of Christ.
