Joseph Arthungal shares a message centered on the transformative power of God’s love, which is the core of the Christian life and the key to unity within the family of God. He emphasizes that understanding and living out this divine love allows believers to reflect God’s nature, overcome discord, and experience a foretaste of heaven in their daily relationships. The sermon is a call to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to love even one’s enemies, and to live a life that preaches the gospel through loving actions.
