The homily discusses the cyclical nature of faithfulness and destruction depicted in the Old Testament and its relevance in modern times. It draws a parallel between Israel’s faithfulness to God and blessings received, versus disobedience and destruction, implying a similar pattern in human history. It suggests that America’s past blessings can be associated with its faith-filled roots, warns of the current drift away from faith values, and cautions that this could lead to societal destruction. It urges people to embody humble, selfless values and invites them to live their faith publicly and pray for the nation. [NB: A.I. generated summary.]

October 01, 2023 – Humility and Obedience
The sermon emphasizes humility and obedience as the two key characteristics Christians should emulate from Jesus. The sermon ushers Christians to acknowledge their sins, transform their “no” to God into a “yes”, and strive towards leading a life of humility and obedience, which includes self-sacrifice. It emphasizes Jesus’ humility in descending from heaven to Earth, and obedience in facing the cross, and encourages believers to unite through shared values. The discussions include examples from domestic chores, workplace, and community leadership to illustrate how one can practice humility and obedience. [NB: A.I. generated summary.]
