'MY PROFESSION'

The sermon titled "My Profession," emphasizes that being a true Christian is shown not merely by words or claims, but by one’s actions, especially the way one loves others. The message highlights that Jesus said His disciples would be known by the way they love one another. A genuine Christian life is marked by forgiveness, compassion, and humility, even toward enemies, because Jesus Himself loved and forgave those who crucified Him. Hate, judgment, and assumptions about others do not reflect the heart of a believer. Instead, Christians are called to reflect God’s love. The sermon challenges us to find what our profession is and how true faith is demonstrated through obedience, compassion, and how we treat our brothers and sisters.

The sermon also urges people to examine whether their actions truly match their profession of faith. In Matthew 8:5-10, the centurion’s belief that Jesus could “just say the word” is held up as an example of real faith, faith expressed through confident declaration and trust. Christians are urged to stop standing still spiritually and start living out what they claim to believe, including through giving, serving, and showing up for others. The message concludes by reminding believers that God gives opportunities daily to live out their profession, and that claiming to know Jesus means living in a way that reflects His love, sacrifice, and truth.
