Sermon - The Floor Is Lava.

The speaker begins by honoring the late Charlie Kirk, described as a courageous advocate who inspired faith in God, patriotism, and the establishment of true families. The core message revolves around the concept of treating life’s problems with utmost seriousness, likening them to lava—something dangerous and life-threatening that demands immediate and careful attention. Using the metaphor of the children’s game “the floor is lava,” the speaker emphasizes the necessity of fully believing in the gravity of our challenges to overcome them. The speaker references religious symbolism, such as fire in prayer and the Methodist cross with its flame, to illustrate the importance of seriousness in spiritual life. Biblical figures like Adam and Eve, Mother Mary, and Jesus’ disciples are discussed to demonstrate the consequences of losing sincerity and seriousness in one’s faith and mission. Expanding the metaphor, the speaker highlights the moon’s critical role in sustaining life on Earth, arguing that just as the moon is indispensable, so too are individuals significant in the divine plan. She shared the story of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who almost became a “Mooney” (a follower of Reverend Moon’s teachings) during a difficult period in his life, illustrating how transformative faith and seriousness can be. The speaker reflects on his own life, acknowledging that challenges have intensified over time, making it even more essential to maintain the “lava attitude” — a mindset of unwavering seriousness and determination. She draws inspiration from people around her who approach life and their responsibilities with urgency and passion, reinforcing that this attitude is crucial for victory over life’s difficulties. In conclusion, the speaker offers a heartfelt prayer, calling on the community to recognize their pivotal role in the world, to support one another, and to actively embody spiritual ideals rather than passively waiting for leadership. The prayer encapsulates the call to action: to be serious, steadfast, and victorious in the face of evil and struggle, becoming living examples of divine truth. Highlights - Tribute to Charlie Kirk, a brave advocate for faith, family, and patriotism, recently assassinated. - Problems should be treated like “lava” – with urgency and seriousness, as if they could harm or kill. - Biblical examples like Adam and Eve and Mary show the consequences of losing seriousness in faith. - The moon’s critical role in sustaining life on Earth symbolizes individual importance in the divine plan. - RFK Jr.’s near conversion to the Mooney faith highlights the power of sincere belief in overcoming struggles. - The speaker’s personal commitment to maintain the “lava attitude”

Sermon - God's Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness.

The speaker is a heartfelt worship message centered on the theme “God’s power is made perfect in weakness,” inspired by Isaiah 42:16. The speaker shares inspiring stories of individuals who overcame physical disabilities through perseverance, support, and faith, illustrating a spiritual truth: human weakness is not a limitation but an opportunity for divine strength to manifest. The message begins with the story of Norman Moran, a pianist who lost the use of his right hand and leg due to abuse but learned to play piano beautifully with his left hand, supported by his mother’s encouragement. Similarly, Helen Keller’s story is recounted, highlighting how, despite being both blind and deaf, she learned to communicate and express love through the help of her mother and teacher. These narratives emphasize focusing on remaining abilities rather than lost ones and the importance of having someone who supports and guides. The speaker draws parallels between physical blindness and spiritual blindness, indicating that while people may appear physically whole, spiritually many are “half persons,” unable to fully perceive or walk in truth without God’s guidance. The Bible verse Isaiah 42:16 is used to reassure that God leads the blind along unfamiliar paths, turning darkness into light. The sermon further explores the biblical principle that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in human weakness, referencing the Apostle Paul’s experience and the story of Gideon, who triumphed against overwhelming odds because of faith in God. The speaker shares a personal testimony about receiving grace despite feeling unworthy, reinforcing that God’s love is unconditional for those who sincerely repent. Using the metaphor of a persimmon fruit, which becomes sweet only after drying removes its bitterness, the speaker illustrates how the innate purity in each person may be obscured by sin or hardship but can be revealed and expanded when nurtured. The message culminates in an encouragement not to lament flaws or past failures but to embrace and develop the “remaining half” of potential within, trusting in God’s sustaining grace. The sermon ends with a prayer for healing, guidance, and strength for those struggling physically, mentally, and spiritually, asking for God’s presence and grace to continue empowering believers to testify and glorify Him. Highlights - Norman Moran’s story: Overcoming paralysis to become a pianist using only his left hand. - Helen Keller’s journey: From blindness and deafness to communication through love and teaching. - The importance of a guide runner in marathon for the blind as a metaphor for spiritual guidance. - Apostle Paul’s teaching: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” - Gideon’s story: Defeating overwhelming enemies with only 300 men through faith in God. od’s promise in Joel 2:25 to restore what locusts have eaten, symbolizing restoration of lost years. - Persimmon fruit metaphor: Bitterness turns to sweetness through transformation, symbolizing inner purity.

Sermon - Unapologetically God's Child

The speaker presents a heartfelt and personal reflection on the speaker’s belief in Heavenly Parent, emphasizing that faith is not a sign of weakness or delusion but a vital and real aspect of life. The speaker asserts that God dwells within each individual as love itself, and we are all unique expressions and children of God. While acknowledging that some may find this belief offensive or disagreeable, the speaker maintains that rejecting God cuts people off from their greatest advocate and source of love. Central to the message is the concept of free will as a divine gift, allowing humans to make conscious choices between good and evil. God loves all His children—victims and perpetrators alike—and desires to save everyone, but cannot override their free will. The speaker also touches on the idea that the true expression of heavenly parents includes the marriage and blessing between a man and a woman, a belief that is often controversial but remains personally significant. The journey of faith is described as challenging and demanding, requiring 100% effort from individuals, with God doing 90% of the work. Failure is part of the process, but perseverance is essential because giving up equates to being lost. The speaker emphasizes that love, selflessness, and sacrifice help people find true purpose, joy, and happiness, often through family and relationships. The speaker highlights the emptiness and dissatisfaction people feel when they cut off their relationship with God, often seeking fulfillment in transient pleasures but still facing anxiety and depression. In contrast, God’s nature is one of love, kindness, and patience—not shame or anger. The speaker encourages to be their own best friends and supporters, to practice self-love so they can better love others, and to avoid stagnation by continually moving forward. The speaker concludes with a prayer of gratitude to heavenly parents and a call to appreciate and nurture the divine presence within, emphasizing love as an ongoing action and practice. The speaker expresses hope for growth, love, and strength in families, urging everyone to do their best one day at a time. Highlights - Faith in God is a deeply personal reality and source of strength, not weakness or delusion. - God dwells within every individual as love, and we are unique expressions of divine children. - Free will is a precious gift from God, allowing humans to choose their path and be responsible for their actions. - The speaker affirms the belief in marriage as a sacred union between one man and one woman. - Living with God requires perseverance, effort, and embracing failure as part of growth. - Cutting off from God leaves a void that worldly pursuits cannot fill, leading to anxiety and emptiness. - Self-love and kindness are essential foundations for loving others and fulfilling one’s purpose.

Sermon - Admitting “I don’t know” opens the door to learning and growth.

The speaker presents a reflective and insightful discussion centered around the themes of humility, self-awareness, spiritual growth, and the pursuit of happiness within the framework of Divine Principle and Christian teachings. The speaker begins by emphasizing the humility inherent in admitting “I don’t know,” which opens the door to learning and growth. This admission challenges defensive reactions rooted in human fallen nature and opens space for critical thinking and internal reflection. The speaker ties this process to experiences with Divine Principle, the Bible, and the teachings of True Parents, highlighting how repeated study deepens understanding and relevance to personal life.

The speaker also touches on freedom, asserting that true freedom is inseparable from responsibility and must manifest in actions aligned with divine truth. The process of spiritual growth involves recognizing and overcoming personal shortcomings, learning from historical and contemporary examples, and consciously choosing love and kindness over selfish or hurtful responses. Ultimately, the speaker calls for self-transformation through continuous learning, prayer, and adherence to divine principles, encouraging viewers to be mindful of their words and actions, as these have lasting impacts on others. The prayer at the end encapsulates the hope for humanity to find happiness and love by aligning with divine nature, inspired by the examples of True Parents and spiritual leaders. Highlights - Embracing “I don’t know” as a humble starting point for learning and growth. - The Divine Principle and Bible provide ongoing inspiration and guidance, never losing relevance. - Fallen nature causes human struggles, misdirecting desires away from true happiness. - True freedom is linked to responsibility and manifesting love through actions. - Thoughtful, considerate responses can transform relationships and break cycles of conflict. - Spiritual growth requires overcoming fallen nature, inspired by the examples of True Parents and Jesus. - Prayer and reflection are essential tools for aligning with divine love and purpose.

Sermon

The speaker presents a comprehensive exploration of the spiritual and historical dimensions of human existence, focusing on the concept of True Parents within the providence of God. It opens with an analogy linking earthly life to eternal life in the spiritual world, emphasizing the transition from physical death to spiritual existence. The speaker reflects on God’s original ideal involving Adam, Eve, and the archangel Lucifer, explaining the fall of man as a choice that led to separation from God and domination by Satan. Throughout history, God’s providence has been a continuous effort to restore humanity through indemnity conditions, a partnership between God and mankind centered on true love. The speaker highlights key biblical figures, especially Jesus Christ, who reached the pinnacle of spiritual growth but could not fulfill the ultimate mission due to humanity’s rejection and fallen nature. The New Testament period, marked by persecution and struggle, was a continuation of this restoration process. The speaker critiques common Christian theological interpretations about Jesus’ death, asserting that the real mission was not merely sacrificial but tied to the eventual establishment of True Parents who can restore humanity fully. The concept of True Parents is central. The speaker identifies Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon as the True Parents who completed the providence through decades of suffering, restoration, and global spiritual leadership from 1968 to 2008. Their mission included blessing couples worldwide, establishing families centered on God, and overcoming Satan’s dominion without bloodshed, symbolized by a miraculous helicopter incident involving True Parents and their family. The age of the fourth Adam is introduced, describing all blessed families and followers as inheritors of True Parents’ victory and authority. The message concludes with a call to action for believers to accept their responsibility by embracing the three blessings—marriage, children, and grandchildren—and living lives centered on God’s love. The speaker emphasizes inheritance as both authority and ability to love properly, urging listeners to internalize and propagate the teachings of the True Parents. The video ends with a heartfelt prayer of gratitude and commitment to uphold the legacy of True Parents and prepare for eternal life. Highlights

• The analogy of earthly life as preparation for eternal life in the spiritual world
• The fall of man involved a choice that separated humanity from God and brought Satan’s dominion
• Jesus Christ reached the top of spiritual growth but could not complete the providence due to human rejection
• Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon as True Parents completed the providence of restoration by establishing God-centered families
• The helicopter accident symbolizes a providential victory over Satan, restoring three generations without bloodshed
• The age of the fourth Adam refers to blessed families inheriting True Parents’ victory and authority
• A call for believers to fulfill their responsibility through the three blessings and live with God’s love

Sermon - "Parents are Heroes."

The speaker opens by honoring parents as everyday heroes in celebration of National Parents Day, established by the U.S. Congress in 1994 to recognize outstanding parents and their vital role in society. It emphasizes the significance of parental love, sacrifice, and guidance in nurturing strong, stable communities. Drawing from biblical scripture, teachings of True Parents, and cultural narratives, the message centers on recognizing parents as heroes who embody selflessness and compassion.

Biblical passages from the Gospel of Matthew highlight Jesus’s acts of sharing food and establishing a covenant symbolized by bread and wine, reflecting spiritual nourishment and parental care. True Parents’ words reinforce this theme by illustrating parental love as a powerful force that inspires universal respect and cosmic support, especially when parents sacrifice their own needs for their children.

The speaker introduces a unique cultural hero from Japan named Anpanman, a superhero whose head is made of sweet bread filled with red bean paste. Unlike traditional superheroes characterized by extraordinary powers and physical prowess, Anpanman’s defining traits are kindness and self-sacrifice, offering parts of himself to feed the hungry. This character was created by Takashi Yanase, a World War II veteran who experienced starvation and suffering firsthand, and who sought to depict a hero embodying nourishment and compassion rather than conflict.

Another character, Viking Man, representing mold or bacteria, is introduced to illustrate the theme of coexistence between seemingly opposing forces. The interplay between Anpanman and Baikinman reflects a broader natural and philosophical principle: even adversaries may be interdependent, and what appears undesirable, such as mold, can have vital benefits—exemplified by penicillin’s discovery. This dynamic parallels the coexistence of good bacteria in the human gut, emphasizing mutual prosperity and balance.

The speaker further explores the concept of heroism, contrasting traditional masculine archetypes of superheroes with the parental heroism exemplified by nurturing, sacrificial love. It critiques how traditional notions of justice and heroism have sometimes glorified conflict and war, while advocating for a vision of parental heroism that promotes peace, empathy, and community.

Jesus’s teachings are interpreted as conveying the heart of a heavenly parent, offering spiritual nourishment rather than political liberation. The speaker highlights the often-overlooked feminine aspects of the divine, which embody empathy and nurturing—qualities essential for addressing human suffering and fostering global coexistence.

A Buddhist parable is shared to illustrate the importance of parental hearts: heaven and hell are depicted as identical dining settings where the difference lies in whether individuals feed each other or not, symbolizing the centrality of mutual care and compassion.

The message concludes with a call to embody parental heroism in daily life, encouraging viewers to embrace selfless love and sacrifice as the foundation for peace and mutual prosperity. The enduring popularity of Anpanman among children and adults exemplifies how such values resonate across cultures and generations. The speaker closes with a prayer to the Heavenly Parent, asking for guidance to follow the example of true parents and to embrace all humankind with parental love.

Highlights

• National Parents Day honors parents as everyday heroes shaping society’s future.
• Biblical stories of Jesus sharing bread symbolize spiritual nourishment and parental care.
• Anpanman, a Japanese superhero made of bread, embodies kindness and self-sacrifice.
• The interplay between Anpanman and Baikinman reflects coexistence and mutual prosperity.
• Parental heroism contrasts traditional heroism by emphasizing nurturing over conflict.
• Jesus’s teachings reveal the heart of a heavenly parent, focusing on empathy and spiritual sustenance.
• A Buddhist parable highlights mutual care as the key difference between heaven and hell.

Sermon - Serenity Amidst Chaos

The sermon titled “Serenity Amidst Chaos” explores the struggle of living a peaceful, love-centered life amid the frenetic pace and overwhelming challenges of the modern world. The speaker reflects on the contrast between the serene life we desire—symbolized by imagery of living peacefully by a river with family—and the chaotic reality many face daily. Central to finding peace is the concept of a love-centered family, as taught by St. Paul, where love is patient, kind, and slow to anger. The sermon emphasizes that God is actively working to save the world at an accelerated pace, which contributes to the sense of urgency and chaos. Despite this, the speaker encourages finding serenity not by escaping chaos but by embracing calmness within it, especially through faith, prayer, and community. Drawing from speeches by True Mother and reflections on Christian history, the sermon highlights the spiritual responsibility of pastoral couples and believers to witness and spread hope joyfully, even amid trials and disappointments. The message also touches on personal spiritual experiences, including times of writer’s block and divine inspiration, and the deep connection between spiritual and physical worlds, particularly during early morning hours. The speaker shares a moving story of a man named Brian who persevered in his quest to experience God despite hardship and skepticism, illustrating the power of faith and trust. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to offer their struggles to God, to deepen their faith, and to rely on family and friends for strength, reinforcing the message that God is near and ready to heal and uplift those who seek Him. The sermon concludes with a heartfelt prayer committing the congregation to follow God’s path toward true happiness and freedom. Highlights - Finding serenity amid chaos is not about escaping noise but cultivating peace within it. - A love-centered family is the essential refuge and source of strength during turbulent times. - God is accelerating the pace of history to save humanity, which creates urgency and stress. - True Mother’s recent speech encapsulates the spiritual providence and challenges facing believers today. - The chosen people have shifted historically, with Koreans now bearing a special responsibility for the world’s salvation. - Divine inspiration often arrives in moments of quiet, especially during the “thin veil” hours of early morning. - Faith and perseverance, exemplified by individuals like Brian, are crucial for experiencing God’s presence and overcoming doubt.

Music Presentation

Presentation

The speaker presents a heartfelt reflection on the fundamental role of the family as the cornerstone of a stable and flourishing society. Drawing on the experience of Robert KD, who has spent decades teaching character education across Asia and the Middle East, the speaker emphasizes that despite diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, the family unit remains universally respected and essential. The universe, they assert, was designed by God—the master creator—who established absolute, eternal principles centering on loving relationships, which manifest most profoundly within the family. The speaker argues that religion and theology, while directing people toward God, often create division due to denominational differences and varying interpretations. Therefore, the path to world peace and societal harmony must transcend religious doctrines and focus on universal values grounded in love and familial bonds. The family operates as a “pair system” reflecting the natural order observable throughout the universe—from subatomic particles to human beings—where complementary relationships foster growth, reproduction, and harmony. Four specific types of love are identified within the family: the children’s love (receiving from parents), sibling love (equal relationships), conjugal love (between husband and wife), and parental love (giving to children). These relationships create a hierarchical yet balanced structure essential for stability, where parental authority is necessary but should be exercised unselfishly. The speaker highlights that the real problem in families and society is not hierarchy itself but selfishness, which breeds dysfunction and conflict. The family is portrayed as the ultimate school of love and the primary environment where compassion, responsibility, and support are cultivated. This is why ideologies like communism seek to dismantle the family—they oppose hierarchy and the natural order. By promoting unselfishness and mutual respect, the family serves as the key to overcoming global crises and achieving peace. Honoring parents and grandparents is a crucial cultural and spiritual practice, as they are co-creators with God in the miracle of life. The family is described as the most sacred place where God’s ideal is realized, transcending religion and theology into the realm of lived reality. Ultimately, the family’s significance extends beyond individual households to the broader future of nations and the world. Highlights

• The family is the cornerstone of a good society and essential for world peace.
• Religion and theology often divide, so solutions must go beyond religious doctrines.
• Loving relationships within the family reflect universal, eternal principles designed by God.
• The family operates as a pair system with four types of love: children’s, siblings’, conjugal, and parental.
• Hierarchy in families is natural and necessary but must be balanced with equality and respect.
• Selfishness, not hierarchy, is the root cause of family and societal problems.
• Honoring parents and grandparents is vital as they are co-creators with God and the foundation of life.

The ceremony then shifts focus to celebrating families who exemplify excellence in parenting. Several couples are recognized for their long-lasting marriages and their dedication to raising children. The speaker mentions each family by name, inquiring about their years of marriage and number of children, emphasizing the strength and commitment inherent in their relationships. These families serve as role models within the community, illustrating the importance of stability, love, and perseverance in parenting.

Sermon - Croutons (metaphorical bits of divine guidance)

The speaker presents a reflective and encouraging message about spirituality, connection, and finding meaning in life through small but significant “croutons”—metaphorical bits of divine guidance or insight that may not come in overwhelming, unmistakable forms but rather in subtle, digestible pieces. The speaker opens by addressing feelings of spiritual disconnect, where some people feel they do not experience God or divine communication as others do. Through a story about a man receiving a large, seemingly unhelpful gift (a bull) instead of something more manageable (like a steak or crouton), the speaker suggests that God’s communication might be subtle and fragmented rather than grand and obvious.

The concept of “croutons” is extended through personal anecdotes and teachings that the speaker has found meaningful, such as Erik Erikson’s psychosocial developmental stages, Dr. Gary Chapman’s five love languages, and core spiritual principles including unity and restoration. These ideas serve as practical “croutons,” small insights or tools that can help people navigate life’s challenges and relationships. The speaker also highlights the importance of music, community, and fellowship as additional sources of comfort and guidance. The message concludes with a prayer expressing a desire for divine love, unity, and the realization of a higher purpose in the world.

Highlights

• Feeling disconnected from God is a common experience; spiritual communication may be subtle, not overt.
• The metaphor of “croutons” represents small, digestible pieces of divine wisdom or support.
• Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages explain essential developmental tasks across the human lifespan.
• Dr. Gary Chapman’s five love languages reveal how understanding different emotional needs is critical for relationships.
• Core spiritual teachings, like unity and restoration, form the foundation of faith but can feel overwhelming.
• Music and community fellowship provide emotional support and spiritual upliftment.
• Prayer is a way to express devotion, seek guidance, and foster love and unity within families and communities.
