Do You Love Me? | Lord's Day Sermon | 14th September, 2025 | Pastor Kehinde Omotayo
Description
Pastor Kehinde from Hackney Evangelical Reformed Church brought a message to SGCC, focusing on Jesus’ post-resurrection conversation with Peter. Christ’s repeated question, “do you love me?” reveals that loving Jesus is a matter of faith, not of physical sight, and that God’s ongoing relationship with believers is founded on personal love and restoration. Jesus restores Peter after his denial, showing that even in our weakness or failure, Christ rebukes but never abandons—He renews us by speaking peace and giving the Holy Spirit, our source of belonging and wholeness.
The sermon emphasises that the defining mark of Christianity is love for God, inspired by His sovereign choice and sacrificial love; our imperfect love is always met by Christ’s perfect love, which pursues and accepts us despite our shortcomings. Peter’s restoration on the shore mirrors every believer’s journey—chosen, forgiven, and called to reciprocate Christ’s love and live on mission, confident that the Lord’s grace is sufficient, even when our zeal falters
