Report from Pastor Rizwan – Jehovah Saints Church, Punjab, Pakistan
Sunday Service Report
On Sunday, March 2, 2025, Pastor Rizwan of Jehovah Saints Church in Punjab, Pakistan, shared a picture of his congregation during their Sunday service. The atmosphere was filled with faith and fellowship as the congregation gathered to worship and learn from God’s Word.
The topic of the sermon was “Love One Another in God”, a message centered on the importance of loving others as God has loved us.
John 13:34-35 – “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Pastor Rizwan reminded the congregation that love is the defining characteristic of followers of Christ.
Key Points from the Sermon
God is the Source of Love:True love comes from God, and we are called to reflect His love in our relationships with others.
1 John 4:7-8 – “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
Love is an Action:Loving one another is not just a feeling but an action that involves kindness, forgiveness, and selflessness.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
Love Reflects God’s Character:When we love one another, we reflect God’s character and demonstrate His presence in our lives.
1 John 4:12 – “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.”
Love Unites the Body of Christ:Love strengthens the church and unites believers in their shared mission to glorify God.
Colossians 3:14 – “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
Encouragement for the Congregation
Pastor Rizwan encouraged the congregation to live out the message of love in their daily lives by:
Forgiving Others: Letting go of grudges and choosing forgiveness as an act of love.
Ephesians 4:32 – “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Serving One Another: Showing love through acts of service and kindness.
Galatians 5:13 – “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”
Praying for One Another: Lifting each other up in prayer, especially in times of need.
James 5:16 – “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
Reflection and Application
The congregation was encouraged to reflect on how they could show love in their families, communities, and church. Pastor Rizwan reminded them that love is the greatest commandment and the foundation of a life that pleases God.
Matthew 22:37-39 – “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the powerful message on love that Pastor Rizwan shared with his congregation. Lord, help us to love one another as You have loved us. Teach us to forgive, serve, and unite as one body in Christ. May Your love be evident in our lives and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
