Music Offering
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.

Sunday School: Bible study - Parable of Prodigal Son
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.
