Sermon: We have hope!

The speaker, a second-generation member of the Unification Church and a sociologist, shares reflections from a recent trip to Japan and Korea amid the church’s current crisis. Originally planning to discuss personal faith, the speaker instead focuses on the resilience and hope observed within the Japanese and Korean Unificationist communities, particularly the activism of a second-generation group called Nabi in Japan and the intense prayer vigils in Korea’s Chongyang center. Despite external persecution, including a potential dissolution order against the church in Japan, these communities demonstrate spiritual vitality, unity, and determination. The speaker highlights the deepening gratitude between generations within the church, the courage of second-generation members publicly affirming their faith, and the renewed devotion of first and third generations in Korea. Professor Oh's stories of transformation and reconciliation, including struggles to accept True Mother’s leadership following True Father’s passing, underscore a broader theme of hope anchored in prayer, action, and spiritual connection. The speaker concludes with a call to deepen understanding of True Mother, to unite in prayer for her release from detention, and to embrace the church’s current upheaval as a necessary divine process of purification and renewal.

Highlights

• Introduction of the speaker’s background and purpose of the trip to Japan and Korea.
• Introduction of the Nabi group in Japan, second-generation activists publicly sharing their faith despite persecution.
• Notable narrowing of the generational gap between first and second generation members in the Japanese church.

Sermon

The speaker reflects on a recent experience of serving an elderly woman named Mary Shelton, displaced by eminent domain, and how this service became a spiritual journey rich with lessons about compassion, patience, and divine purpose. The talk begins by referencing Romans 1:20, emphasizing how God’s invisible qualities are revealed through creation and lived experiences. The catalyst for the talk was a request for help moving Mary, a senior with physical ailments and dementia, who faced the anxiety and loss of being uprooted from her longtime home. Through several days of travel from North Carolina to Las Vegas, the speaker cared for Mary and her comfort dog, Blessing, exemplifying a mindful and heartfelt approach inspired by True Mother’s example of caring service. Throughout the journey, the speaker navigated challenges such as Mary’s rambling, confusion, and fatigue while maintaining a spirit of patience and love. The speaker shares observations about the Western landscape, engaging Mary in meaningful moments that connected her past experiences as a stewardess to the physical realities of the ground she had flown over for years. Upon arrival, the speaker highlights the vulnerability of aging and memory loss as Mary struggles to orient herself in her new home. A significant part of the journey was meeting Corey, a mover who shares a flight back with the speaker. This encounter allowed for a deep, open conversation about faith, free will, and the root causes of human suffering, framed through the Divine Principle and the concept of the Fall. Corey’s quick understanding and receptiveness to spiritual truths demonstrate the power of genuine dialogue and divine timing. The speaker concludes by reflecting on the meaning of true value as “what you leave in people’s hearts,” inspired by a movie about a young man with cancer and his dog. The talk closes with a prayer expressing gratitude for life, challenges, and the opportunity to serve others, invoking the spirit of True Parents and the ideal of leaving a positive spiritual legacy within others. Highlights

• Romans 1:20 introduces the theme of perceiving God’s invisible qualities through creation and experience.
• Mary Shelton’s eminent domain case and her frail condition set the stage for a story of compassionate service.
• Blessing, Mary’s comfort dog, plays a crucial role in alleviating her anxiety during the move.
• The challenges of long-distance travel and disrupted sleep patterns highlight the physical and emotional toll on caregiver and cared-for alike.
• Sharing knowledge about juniper trees and the western landscape creates meaningful connections and moments of joy.
• Meeting Corey, the mover, leads to a spontaneous and profound spiritual conversation about human suffering and free will.
• The key takeaway: true value lies in what we leave in people’s hearts, not material possessions.

Sermon - Let’s Talk about Love

In this heartfelt and insightful talk, the speaker explores the essential role of love and relationships in achieving happiness and fulfillment in life. Beginning with a warm holiday greeting, the speaker introduces the central theme: relationships, framed through a creative metaphor called the “theory of warm and cold water.” This theory illustrates how the quality of our interactions—whether harsh and cold or kind and warm—directly impacts the health and longevity of our relationships. Drawing from personal experiences, spiritual teachings, and scientific studies, the speaker emphasizes that beyond basic survival needs like food, shelter, and technology, meaningful relationships are fundamental to human happiness. The talk references the Divine Principle, highlighting the spiritual goal of attaining happiness and avoiding misfortune through harmonious relationships with both God and others. Through a story of professional struggle and recovery, the speaker demonstrates how warm water—expressed as kindness, affirmation, and love as action—can revive and nurture relationships, leading to personal and communal flourishing. The message concludes with an encouragement to practice warm water in relationships, especially during the holiday season, to foster joy, healing, and connection.
