Triangle Family Church Sunday Service on Dec. 28, 2025
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. Personal 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.
