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. Central to the message is the concept of fallen nature—humanity’s inherent flaw derived from the biblical Fall, which causes individuals to stray from God’s perspective and seek happiness in misguided ways. The speaker explains that everyone struggles for happiness but often misdirects desire, leading to conflict and suffering. The teachings of Divine Principle guide believers to overcome fallen nature by understanding God’s love, embracing responsibility, and practicing thoughtful, considerate behavior in response to others. 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.
