What happens when the Church receives good news but remains silent?

In this message, we introduce the theme of the year: “Let Us All Be Stars Pointing to Jesus.” After years of building on the Rock, cultivating stillness, and learning to run to Christ, the Church is now called outward into mission.

Rooted in 2 Kings 6–7, this sermon centers on four rejected lepers who stumble upon salvation and realize they cannot keep it to themselves. Their words confront every generation of believers:

“This is a day of good news, and we remain silent.” (2 Kings 7:9)

Through Scripture, lived experience, and the sobering story of the Life-Saving Station, we are reminded that the Church does not exist for comfort, preservation, or performance. We are called to be a hospital for the wounded, a city on a hill, and stars that point others to Christ.

Mission is not about being louder than the world.

Mission is about being truer.

This year is a call for all of us to live lives so healed, so authentic, and so Christ-centered that the good news cannot stay private.

It is not at all a coincidence that parents who were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless. And their son is the greatest among those born of women. How do your children see you live and behave in your everyday life?

Nothing is free is a true statement. it may be free to you but definitely has a cost to someone. The world is pulling us to be more self-centered and self-consumed. we need to always remember that EVERYTHING we have and EVERYTHING we get has cost others something. and with some, it has cost them everything!

This sermon explores the profound spiritual significance of praise as the deepest form of prayer, framing it as a selfless act of thanksgiving that transcends personal requests. By tracing the biblical narrative of Mary and Elizabeth, Fr. Seraphim illustrates how communing with God through song serves as an essential indicator of one's intimacy and love for the Divine. The text highlights a diverse lineage of "people of praise," ranging from Moses and Deborah to King David and Jesus Christ, all of whom turned to worship during times of intense affliction. Ultimately, the message serves as a call to adopt a life of praise as a remedy and comfort, urging believers to look beyond their own problems and focus entirely on the glory of God.

This sermon explores the profound nature of a personal divine calling, using the biblical encounter between the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary as a foundational roadmap. Fr. Seraphim outlines a four-stage process of spiritual engagement, beginning with a specific and intimate greeting where God identifies individuals by name to alleviate their fears. As the call moves into the phases of mission and clarification, the text emphasizes that God provides encouragement and empowerment while remaining patient with human doubt and the need for understanding. Ultimately, the message highlights the sanctity of human agency, noting that while God offers a compassionate invitation to serve, the individual retains the freedom to either reject the call or embrace it with faithful submission.

Everybody dies. Not everybody really lives! What do people say they wish they did or did more of on their deathbed? What makes your life a life that is worth living? The measure of a man is not by how many people are around him when he is alive, but rather by how many people are around him when dies!

The sermon focuses on how God prepares us for salvation through various means, particularly emphasizing the role of other people in this divine preparation. It is part of a series that reflects on the Gospel of Luke, chapter 1.

Key themes include the importance of fellowship, the necessity of serving and caring for others even when life is busy, the blessings that come from sacrificial giving and service, and the spiritual growth that emerges through enduring conflict and learning forgiveness.

The church is described not just as a gathering of believers, but a spiritual family where love and service to one another reflect God’s grace and prepare us for salvation.

The sermon highlights that God’s preparation often comes through others’ encouragement, challenges, or even hurt, all of which provide opportunities to grow in humility, mercy, patience, and faith. Ultimately, the call is for believers to embrace their role within the body of Christ by supporting and encouraging one another on the journey toward salvation.

This sermon is an in-depth teaching on how to deal with difficult people by adopting a spiritual and compassionate approach grounded in faith, patience, and love.

This sermon explores the concept of meekness as “strength under control,”

Take a moment to listen to this sermon. It offers gentle, practical wisdom on dealing with difficult people, reminding us that true change comes not by force or manipulation, but through prayer, patience, and sincere love.
