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.]

September 03, 2023 – You Duped Me, O Lord
The sermon covers the speaker’s journey towards priesthood, initially rejected by a seminary due to his questioning nature. Despite a brief sense of relief, he accepted his calling to serve as a priest. The sermon uses this experience to contextualize a teaching from Jeremiah about accepting tasks from the Lord, no matter how challenging, likening it to giving a “blank check” to God, symbolizing total surrender. The speaker concludes that, despite the difficulties inherent in such surrender, unquestionably answering the Lord’s call is inherently rewarding.
