Sermon by Pastor David Ryu, on Sunday September 28, 2025, at Diaspora Church. The sermon text comes from 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12.

The recent events of Charlie Kirk's death has lit a fire in the hearts of millions of men and women across the world to make their lives count for something greater than themselves. There are reports of multitudes of people going back to Church after a long time, or for the first time in their lives. In these dark and desperate days, the Church needs to shine her light all the more brightly, directing people's hunger and ambition to Christ! In these four short verses, Paul serves as our faithful guide, redirecting our ambitions toward godly ambitions that align with God's will and character.
