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.

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.

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.

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.

Sermon - Am I Pharisee or Tax Collector?

The sermon, titled “Am I Pharisee or Tax Collector?” draws from the parable in Luke 18:9-14, where Jesus contrasts a Pharisee and a tax collector praying in the temple. The Pharisee boasts of his righteousness, while the humble tax collector pleads for God’s mercy. Jesus concludes that those who humble themselves will be exalted. The speaker reflects on this parable to explore themes of humility, mindset transformation, and true faith in the modern era.

The speaker highlights that though people intellectually understand new spiritual eras—like the “year of the snake,” symbolizing rebirth and renewal—their fixed mindsets, formed by past experiences and societal influences, often prevent genuine transformation. Using examples such as soldiers returning from war or prisoners released from jail, the sermon illustrates how individuals may be physically free or changed but mentally remain trapped in old patterns. Similarly, many church members physically attend services but mentally remain attached to worldly concerns or old beliefs. To truly evolve spiritually, the speaker urges adopting an open and flexible mindset, citing Columbus’s egg as a metaphor for innovative thinking and first-time achievements. The traditional ways of thinking—based on fixed “logic” or rigid patterns—no longer suffice in the contemporary spiritual landscape. The Book of Job is invoked to emphasize humility before God. Job was a righteous man who suffered greatly and questioned God’s justice. After God’s rebuke, Job repents, realizing his limited human wisdom and embracing faith with his whole heart, not just intellect. This teaches that deep spiritual understanding comes through trials, not ease. A testimony about a devoted Christian woman in the speaker’s church illustrates the parable’s application today. Despite her piety and love for God, she refused to receive a spiritual blessing of marriage, considering her love for God sufficient. In a dream, she saw herself denied entry to heaven because she was not part of a blessed couple. This story highlights how legalistic or self-righteous attitudes can hinder true spiritual growth. The speaker honestly reflects on his own shortcomings, admitting to sometimes acting like the Pharisee by judging others, but aspiring to be a humble tax collector. Both Job and the tax collector share humility and trust in God’s mercy, contrasting with arrogance. The sermon stresses that God values sincere humility and faith over outward religious accomplishments or status. The message is reinforced by another biblical story from Luke 7, where a sinful woman’s heartfelt repentance and love move Jesus to forgive her, despite the judgment of a Pharisee named Simon. The speaker underscores that God accepts repentance and a loving heart, not social standing or past sins. Finally, the speaker encourages self-reflection, asking listeners daily if they live honestly, humbly, and with integrity. The core call is to embody the tax collector’s spirit—humble, repentant, and sincere—in order to receive God’s grace and blessing. Highlights

• Jesus’ parable teaches humility is key to being justified before God.
• The “year of the snake” symbolizes rebirth and the need to shed old mindsets.
• Fixed mental patterns can trap believers even when physically present in church.
• Columbus’s egg metaphor encourages innovative, first-time thinking in faith.
• Job’s story shows true faith arises through trials and humility, not intellect alone.
• A devoted believer’s refusal to receive blessing illustrates dangers of self-righteousness.
• God values sincere repentance and a loving heart over external religious acts.
