SUNDAY REPORT AT TAC CLIFFORD ASSEMBLY. 5TH OCTOBER, 2025
SERMON: ELDER D. O. Otoyo
THEME: LOVE
TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:1–6
The message focused on the true nature of love as the foundation of the Christian life. The preacher emphasized that no matter how gifted, spiritual, or generous we may appear, without love, all our actions are empty and meaningless. Love goes beyond emotions or romantic feelings—it is an intentional choice to act in ways that reflect the heart of God.
Love is patient with others even when it’s inconvenient. It’s kind, not harsh. It doesn’t envy what others have, and it doesn’t boast or seek to exalt itself. Love humbles itself, seeks the good of others, and does not dishonor or belittle people. It's not self-centered or easily provoked. It doesn’t keep records of past wrongs but chooses forgiveness. It doesn’t rejoice in evil or injustice, but it delights in the truth.
The sermon called believers to examine their hearts and relationships, challenging us to pursue a life where love is not just spoken but lived out daily—because that is what truly reflects the character of Christ. Without this kind of love, everything else loses its eternal value.
