"From Remembrance to Peacemaking: A Vision for God's Future" with Richard Portlock
Update: 2025-11-09
Description
This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 10 November 2024. The reading was Micah 4:1-5.
In this thoughtful Remembrance Sunday reflection, Richard explores what remembrance truly means for Christians - not just honouring the past, but actively working for peace in the present and future. Drawing on Micah's powerful prophecy of swords being beaten into ploughshares, the talk examines the tension between commemorating those who died in war whilst rejecting war itself. Richard challenges us to see remembrance as more than sentiment, calling us to be peacemakers who work for God's justice and righteousness in our families, workplaces and communities. A timely reminder that true peace requires more than simply stopping conflict.
