Sermon - Let Your Light Shine

This is a heartfelt and reflective sermon delivered on the occasion of the 66th True Children’s Day. The speaker emphasizes the inseparable relationship between True Parents and True Children, highlighting the reciprocal nature of their existence and roles. The sermon draws inspiration from various sources, including the teachings of Jesus Christ, contemporary spiritual figures, and True Mother Han’s current situation—detained for over two months. Central to the message is the call to let one’s light shine despite adversity and the importance of internal attitudes such as humility, righteousness, and perseverance in faith. The speaker reflects deeply on the significance of Jesus Christ’s life and mission, particularly the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes, illustrating how Jesus’ mission was not fulfilled due to a lack of a supportive environment and family foundation. This ties into the present-day responsibility of believers to embody those virtues and take active responsibility for the salvation of humanity, as demonstrated by True Mother Han’s selfless focus on humanity’s salvation rather than her own predicament. The sermon also touches on the concept of “Jeong-Seong” (offering and spiritual effort) reaching a boiling point where God can intervene, stressing the collective responsibility of believers to cultivate such fervor in their faith and actions. The speaker challenges listeners to examine their internal attitude and commitment to righteousness, humility, and support of True Mother. The sermon concludes with a prayer for True Mother Han’s release and a transformation in the hearts of believers towards a deeper understanding of their responsibilities. Highlights

• Celebrating the 66th True Children’s Day and its symbolic meaning of overcoming difficulties.
• Prophet Redbee’s powerful message urging believers to “light a fire” in support of True Mother Han.
• The metaphor of “Jeong-Seong - Devotion” reaching the boiling point (100 degrees) as a prerequisite for God’s intervention.
• Reflection on Jesus Christ’s mission and the Sermon on the Mount emphasizing “how to be” rather than “what to do.”
• Explanation of the Beatitudes highlighting internal attitudes like humility, righteousness, and mercy.
• True Mother Han’s focus on humanity’s salvation over personal suffering during her detention.
• The call to “let your light shine” as a beacon of faith and good deeds in the world.

Sermon - By My Will, Without Hesitation

The speaker presents a deeply reflective and spiritual discourse centered on the true essence of the Messiah, the nature of sacrifice, and the embodiment of faith and forgiveness through the examples of Jesus Christ and True Mother. Beginning with the Biblical passage John 10:17-18, it emphasizes Jesus’ voluntary sacrifice, highlighting that He chose to lay down His life by His own authority and will, not by compulsion or external force. This voluntary surrender is an expression of divine love and mission. The speaker then draws parallels between Jesus’ courageous acceptance of suffering and the steadfast dedication of True Mother, who, despite having many reasons to resist or complain, embraced her path of sacrifice and responsibility without blame. In doing so, she exemplifies the true essence of parenthood as modeled by the Heavenly Parent: bearing crosses, forgiving betrayal, and praying for the restoration of her people and nation. The speaker further delves into the concept that miracles—while significant—are not the ultimate purpose of the Messiah’s mission. Using Luke 23:35-37, it underscores that Jesus could have saved Himself but chose the path of the cross to lead humanity back to God through inner repentance rather than spectacle. The speaker also recounts the story of Honi the Circle Drawer, an ancient Jewish intercessor whose persistent and faith-filled prayer for rain was ultimately a prayer for spiritual restoration and return to God. This story illustrates the dynamic interaction between human faith and divine response. True Mother’s life and actions are highlighted as a living continuation of this redemptive mission. She embodies forgiveness, compassion, and humble service, praying for Korea’s spiritual awakening and unity. The speaker reflects on the profound lessons learned through True Mother’s example—especially the challenge and necessity of forgiveness, overcoming resentment, and embracing one’s role in God’s providence. The speaker closes with a heartfelt expression of gratitude for True Mother’s sacrifice and leadership, encouraging the audience to work hard for heavenly affairs with faith, humility, and hope, inspired by the examples of Jesus and True Mother. Highlights

• Jesus voluntarily laid down His life and took it up again by His own authority.
• Jesus, fully aware of His fate, confronts His arrest with courage and protects His disciples.
• True Mother, like Jesus, embraces suffering without blame, embodying the will of the Heavenly Parent.
• Jesus chose the cross over miracles to lead humanity to repentance and God.
• The story of Honi the Circle Drawer illustrates prayer as a means to spiritual revival, not just physical relief.
• True Mother forgives and prays for her nation, embodying motherly compassion and spiritual leadership.
• The speaker reflects on True Mother’s example as a guide to forgiveness and overcoming resentment.

Sunday School: Bible study - Parable of Prodigal Son

The parable encourages embracing grace, compassion, and restoration in daily life.

Reflecting on these lessons helps us learn to forgive others and let go of resentment, fostering healthier relationships and personal growth.

The story of the Prodigal Son teaches that true forgiveness is unconditional, eternal, and transformative—both for those who give it and those who receive it. By letting go of anger and embracing compassion, we reflect the boundless grace described in the parable.

Sermon - Big Beautiful Blessed Families

The speaker opens by crediting family members for contributions to the sermon and shares a humorous story from Tyler Hendrics’s memoir to set a lighthearted tone. He then reflects on his personal history and the concept of spiritual lineage, emphasizing the importance of being “engrafted” onto God’s lineage through True Parents rather than biological roots. The sermon’s main focus is on the challenges and hopes surrounding Blessed Families within the church, highlighting the struggles of raising families in faith while balancing worldly responsibilities.

The discussion turns toward possible solutions to engage youth, including listening to their concerns, fostering dialogue, partnering with successful organizations, and creating inclusive events like a Halloween party. Though change is challenging, the speaker affirms the belief that divine potential resides within every young person and that the church must not give up on them.

The sermon concludes with a passionate call to protect and unite families as the foundational hope for the movement’s future, invoking a prayer for strength, clarity, and perseverance in supporting True Parents and continuing the mission despite current difficulties and opposition. Highlights
