Sermon - “Everything Is Beautiful in Its Time"

This sermon emphasizes the beauty and meaning inherent in every stage of life, rooted in God’s perfect timing and will. It encourages believers to embrace aging and life’s challenges with faith, to recognize the lasting power of human will and spiritual energy, and to find inspiration in both ancient scripture and contemporary cultural narratives like Demon Slayer. Ultimately, it calls for trust in God’s plan and the pursuit of a positive legacy that transcends time.

Key Insights and Themes

• Everything is beautiful in its time, reflecting God’s perfect timing and divine order in life.
• True purpose transcends worldly achievements and is found in faith, integrity, and appreciation of life’s stages.
• Aging is a natural transition that may involve physical decline but increases inner beauty, wisdom, and spiritual depth.
• The anime Demon Slayer provides a rich metaphor for spiritual struggle, contrasting selfishness (demons) with self-sacrifice (demon slayers), mirroring biblical concepts of light vs. darkness.
• The human will is immortal, carrying purpose and legacy beyond physical life, connected through spiritual energy akin to quantum entanglement.
• Historical figures like Jesus Christ and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. exemplify how positive spiritual energy shapes legacies that endure social and temporal challenges.
• True Parents' movement represents a divine dream realized through human history, embodying God’s everlasting will.
• Faith in God’s plan allows believers to embrace life’s beauty, purpose, and challenges with hope.

Transcripts

The title of my sermon is “Everything Is Beautiful in Its Time,” which comes from Ecclesiastes 3:11 in the Bible.

Ecclesiastes, a Bible book named from Hebrew and Greek words meaning "teacher," reflects on life's pointlessness without God, noting that achievements are temporary and death is inevitable. Ultimately, it suggests the true purpose lies in appreciating simple gifts from God and living with integrity.

We will begin by examining biblical foundations that speak about beauty and the significance of each stage of life. Then, we’ll reflect on aging and the wisdom that comes with life’s transitions. Next, we’ll explore philosophical insights inspired by the anime Demon Slayer. Finally, we’ll discuss the eternal influence of human will and energy in shaping legacy and spirit.

Let’s now turn to Ecclesiastes 3:11 together.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” 

Let me also read the Easy English Bible version.

“God has chosen a good time for all things to happen. He has caused people to think about things that will continue forever. But nobody can completely understand everything that God has done, from the beginning of their lives to the end.”

The central message is that God controls all events with perfect timing, giving meaning and order to everything in the universe.

The script suggests that we should embrace and value the different stages of life—whether they bring happiness, challenges, growth, or calm—since each phase has its own significance and beauty.

Ecclesiastes is attributed to King Solomon, who famously asked God for wisdom. The book offers a philosophical perspective on how worldly things like pleasure, wealth, and knowledge can be, emphasizing that a life devoted only to these pursuits lacks true meaning.

If we can have such wisdom and view of life, our life will be much easier. However, it is not easy. As the script says, no one can completely understand God’s plan.

For example, aging isn't enjoyable for many people. I've noticed my eyesight is getting worse, making it difficult to read medicine labels and instructions on microwave food packages. At first, I wondered if manufacturers had started using smaller print, but my kids could read everything easily. That’s when I realized the issue wasn’t with the letter size—it was with my eyes.

As we age, we lose certain attributes like physical abilities and beauty. I apologize if mentioning the loss of beauty is sensitive, particularly to ladies. However, the beauty I refer to is purely physical appearance. In my view, our inner beauty grows with age, and older individuals are the most beautiful in God's eyes. During the HJ Cheon Bo workshop, I witnessed the beauty of unwavering faith and heartfelt passion of the senior first generation participants.

How can we recognize that everything is beautiful in its own time? To explore this question, I'm looking at the popular Japanese anime “Demon Slayer.” You might wonder why I'm discussing “Demon Slayer” during Sunday service instead of referencing True Parents' teachings. But I know “Demon Slayer” appeals to certain audiences. The story contains profound philosophical themes, drawing from Buddhism and Bushido—the way of the Samurai. Some people even believe that Demon Slayer incorporates Biblical ideas. There's a YouTube video titled “The Demon Slayer series is Biblical?” 

It’s fascinating that a concept from the Bible verse I mentioned appears in “Demon Slayer” episodes. Below are scripts from the episodes.

Aging and dying are also the beauty of the fragile creature known as human beings.

The concept of eternity lives within the human’s will, making it both everlasting and immortal.

Throughout life, we lose material things like jobs, wealth, and health. Since everyone eventually loses these, aging and death seem daunting if our focus is on worldly matters. If we center our attention on God's will, even death becomes a transition planned by God. Aging helps us understand what truly matters. Aging often brings wisdom, perspective, and a deeper understanding of life, which can be seen as valuable qualities. The cycle of life, with its inevitable transitions, connects us to the past and future, highlighting the continuity of human experience.

The storyline of “Demon Slayer” follows Tanjiro Kamado, a young boy whose family is killed by a demon, with his younger sister Nezuko being the sole survivor who is turned into a demon. Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to fight against demons and find a way to turn his sister back into a human. Demon Slayer Corps’s main goal is to protect people from demons and defeat the main demon who has been turning people into demons. The main demon is a figure like Satan. 

Demons are immortal and heal from injuries much faster than humans. They do not experience aging or death. Yet, one thing can destroy them: sunlight. Demons cannot survive exposure to the sun. Demon slayers use special swords called the sun sword to fight against demons.

Why are demons unable to exist under sunlight? Naturally, immortal demons would be invincible without any vulnerabilities. Therefore, the author needs to assign them a specific weakness. This attribute may also serve as a symbol for a more profound theme: that demons cannot dwell in the light of day.

Across many faiths, the sun serves as a symbol of divinity. Sunlight often stands for hope, renewal, and the removal of darkness or despair.

The value demons have and their way of living are totally opposite to ones God put into His creation. Inability to live under the sun symbolizes that demons’ way of self centered living cannot coexist with God’s way of living for the sake of others.

Demons pursue worldly things such as power and beauty at the expense of others, while Demon Slayers risk themselves to protect people and fight demons. Their values are completely opposed.

Despite their differences, both demons and Demon Slayers share a history marked by pain. Many demons have struggled with poor health, poverty, or the loss of loved ones—a reflection of the suffering faced in a fallen world. Similarly, most Demon Slayers carry the burden of having lost loved ones to demons.

The leader of the Demon Slayer corps once declared, "the human will is immortal. The will of the Demon Slayer corps remains until its purpose is achieved." Inspired by these words, Demon Slayers channel their painful experiences into motivation, striving to fulfil this enduring will.

To engage intellectual young audiences, I will discuss quantum physics. Quantum physics explores matter and energy at their most basic level, examining how particles behave and interact. Among its most fascinating discoveries is quantum entanglement: particles that originate together remain linked, no matter how far apart they travel in space or time. Instead of keeping their original properties, these particles form a shared quantum state that persists. So, when one entangled particle is influenced, the change instantly affects the others connected to it.

Our body and mind or spirit are composed of quantum particles and energy. I believe the energy of our spirit is eternal, connected together, and affects each other even though quantum physics does not tell it. We can feel the energy of past people. We are the fruits of the energy and particles from the past people. That is why we inherit both good and bad elements from the past people. Most people have been struggling to leave good things behind to their descendants.    

Let us reflect on the positive energy that remarkable individuals from the past have given to us. Looking at Jesus Christ through a secular lens during his lifetime, he was considered a criminal and was put to death. Yet, the influence he left behind remains pure and good. The energy Jesus imparted continues to profoundly shape countless lives for generations to come.

Until the 1960s, racial segregation was common in the United States and reinforced by "Jim Crow" laws. Many individuals initially viewed the Civil Rights movement as illegal. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped transform society by inspiring people’s conscience with his positive energy, which is evident in his renowned “I Have a Dream” speech.  

Although True Parents and our movement have faced criticism from society and the media, the legacy they are creating will endure. The concepts of “True Parents” and “Blessing” mark a significant turning point in human history. True Parents shared that God’s dream was for Adam and Eve to become True Parents and offer Blessings to their children—a dream now coming true. God’s Will remains everlasting. When we focus on God’s Will, we start to see that “Everything Is Beautiful in Its Time.”

Life’s journey is filled with beauty, meaning, and purpose rooted in divine timing, personal growth, and enduring will. Embracing every stage with God’s wisdom and hope allows us to leave a positive legacy that transcends time and inspires others. Let us discover and fulfil God’s dream for each of us.

Sermon - Brothers, Rise Up

The speaker opens with a personal reflection on the significance of dreams, particularly one involving True Mother, which symbolizes the importance of restoring order through spiritual leadership and caring for the next generation. This dream sets the tone for a sermon grounded in biblical teachings, spiritual lineage, and the role of True Parents in salvation. Drawing from John 3:3-5, the speaker emphasizes the necessity of being “born again” to enter the kingdom of God, which in this context means severing Satan’s lineage and being grafted into God’s through True Parents, a process Jesus initiated and True Parents consummate.

The sermon explores the spiritual symbolism surrounding the Holy Spirit, highlighting a historical mistranslation that obscured the feminine aspect of the Holy Spirit, which is linked to Heavenly Mother. The speaker explains how Catholic veneration of Mary partially reflects the hidden reverence for Heavenly Mother, connecting this to Unificationist teachings about True Mother as the embodiment of Heavenly Mother, essential for mankind’s rebirth and salvation. The message addresses contemporary challenges within the community, especially the evolving roles of men and women. It acknowledges that women are stepping into empowered roles alongside their husbands, which can cause discomfort among some brothers who revere True Father’s example of masculinity. The speaker reassures the brothers that their love for True Father is not misplaced and that True Parents’ unity is foundational to salvation. The essence of True Parents’ mission is one and shared, aimed at reaching heaven. Several poignant stories illustrate the power of brotherhood, kindness, and prayer. These stories include a teacher helping a boy tie a tie for prom, a young man praying and transforming his father’s life, and a personal encounter with a distressed woman, all emphasizing compassion and family bonds. The speaker invokes the example of True Mother’s endurance through profound personal loss, encouraging the brothers in the American church to rise up and support True Mother and the community in these challenging times. The sermon concludes with a heartfelt prayer for guidance, strength, and unity, expressing concern for True Mother’s health and the church’s future, while affirming faith in God’s enduring presence and leadership. Highlights

• Dream about True Mother reveals the importance of restoring spiritual order and caring for the next generation.
• John 3:3-5 stresses the necessity of being born again to enter God’s kingdom, linking salvation to spiritual lineage and True Parents.
• The Holy Spirit’s gender was mistranslated from Hebrew to Latin, obscuring Heavenly Mother’s role for 2,000 years.
• Mother Mary as a symbolic embodiment of Heavenly Mother, paralleling True Mother’s role in spiritual rebirth.
• Addressing brothers’ feelings of exclusion as sisters rise in leadership, emphasizing the unity and shared mission of True Parents.
• Stories of kindness and prayer illustrate the transformative power of brotherhood and faith.

Sermon 

The speaker shares a heartfelt testimony about his journey of faith, family, and personal growth within the context of the Unification Church. He begins by expressing gratitude and acknowledging the challenges many face, emphasizing that God serves as a guide and companion through life’s uncertainties, much like a guide runner assists a visually impaired athlete. He thanks members of his church community for their warm welcome and support as his family relocated and settled in North Carolina. He then recounts his family’s roots as second-generation church members from Korea, describing his father’s pioneering missionary work in Jamaica, where his father established a successful pottery business despite initial hardships. The speaker’s own journey took him from New York and New Jersey to Korea, Japan, and eventually back to the United States. He describes his struggles adapting to Japanese culture and language, feelings of loneliness, and a waning connection to the church during his youth and young adulthood. A turning point came in 2004 when his mother insisted he participate in the church’s arranged blessing (marriage) ceremony at East Garden in the United States. Despite initial reluctance and cultural differences, he accepted the match with his wife, Minyong, who had a strong and consistent faith background. They faced challenges blending their cultural norms and faith experiences, especially given his intense work ethic shaped by Japanese corporate culture. Their life together evolved as Minyong pursued higher education in the U.S., earning a master’s degree and later being accepted to prestigious PhD programs. The speaker quit his job to support her and moved to the U.S., where he gradually rekindled his faith and experienced spiritual growth. Despite hardships, including personal and communal trials such as the passing of their church founder, they remained united and committed to their family and faith journey. They have now established a stable family life with their son, Takami, and both have achieved significant educational milestones—he as a licensed attorney (though not practicing) and she as a college professor. The speaker closes by expressing profound gratitude to God, True Parents, and the church community for their ongoing spiritual guidance and protection, likening God to a “companion runner” who leads and supports through life’s unseen challenges. His testimony is a message of hope, resilience, and faith for others navigating their own journeys. Highlights - The speaker emphasizes feeling grateful and happy despite the difficulties others may face, introducing the theme of God as a guide runner. - Acknowledgment of community members who helped the family settle in and feel welcomed in North Carolina. - Story of the father’s pioneering missionary work and pottery business in Jamaica, establishing financial stability through faith-driven entrepreneurship. - Personal struggles adapting socially and academically in Japan, feeling isolated due to cultural and language barriers. - The pivotal moment when the speaker agrees to participate in the church’s arranged blessing, despite initial resistance. - Cultural and faith differences in marriage, highlighting the tension between traditional Japanese work culture and family life. - Spiritual revival and family growth after moving to the U.S., overcoming hardships and achieving academic and personal milestones.

Sermon - The Floor Is Lava.

The speaker begins by honoring the late Charlie Kirk, described as a courageous advocate who inspired faith in God, patriotism, and the establishment of true families. The core message revolves around the concept of treating life’s problems with utmost seriousness, likening them to lava—something dangerous and life-threatening that demands immediate and careful attention. Using the metaphor of the children’s game “the floor is lava,” the speaker emphasizes the necessity of fully believing in the gravity of our challenges to overcome them. The speaker references religious symbolism, such as fire in prayer and the Methodist cross with its flame, to illustrate the importance of seriousness in spiritual life. Biblical figures like Adam and Eve, Mother Mary, and Jesus’ disciples are discussed to demonstrate the consequences of losing sincerity and seriousness in one’s faith and mission. Expanding the metaphor, the speaker highlights the moon’s critical role in sustaining life on Earth, arguing that just as the moon is indispensable, so too are individuals significant in the divine plan. She shared the story of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who almost became a “Mooney” (a follower of Reverend Moon’s teachings) during a difficult period in his life, illustrating how transformative faith and seriousness can be. The speaker reflects on his own life, acknowledging that challenges have intensified over time, making it even more essential to maintain the “lava attitude” — a mindset of unwavering seriousness and determination. She draws inspiration from people around her who approach life and their responsibilities with urgency and passion, reinforcing that this attitude is crucial for victory over life’s difficulties. In conclusion, the speaker offers a heartfelt prayer, calling on the community to recognize their pivotal role in the world, to support one another, and to actively embody spiritual ideals rather than passively waiting for leadership. The prayer encapsulates the call to action: to be serious, steadfast, and victorious in the face of evil and struggle, becoming living examples of divine truth. Highlights - Tribute to Charlie Kirk, a brave advocate for faith, family, and patriotism, recently assassinated. - Problems should be treated like “lava” – with urgency and seriousness, as if they could harm or kill. - Biblical examples like Adam and Eve and Mary show the consequences of losing seriousness in faith. - The moon’s critical role in sustaining life on Earth symbolizes individual importance in the divine plan. - RFK Jr.’s near conversion to the Mooney faith highlights the power of sincere belief in overcoming struggles. - The speaker’s personal commitment to maintain the “lava attitude”

Sermon - God's Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness.

The speaker is a heartfelt worship message centered on the theme “God’s power is made perfect in weakness,” inspired by Isaiah 42:16. The speaker shares inspiring stories of individuals who overcame physical disabilities through perseverance, support, and faith, illustrating a spiritual truth: human weakness is not a limitation but an opportunity for divine strength to manifest. The message begins with the story of Norman Moran, a pianist who lost the use of his right hand and leg due to abuse but learned to play piano beautifully with his left hand, supported by his mother’s encouragement. Similarly, Helen Keller’s story is recounted, highlighting how, despite being both blind and deaf, she learned to communicate and express love through the help of her mother and teacher. These narratives emphasize focusing on remaining abilities rather than lost ones and the importance of having someone who supports and guides. The speaker draws parallels between physical blindness and spiritual blindness, indicating that while people may appear physically whole, spiritually many are “half persons,” unable to fully perceive or walk in truth without God’s guidance. The Bible verse Isaiah 42:16 is used to reassure that God leads the blind along unfamiliar paths, turning darkness into light. The sermon further explores the biblical principle that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in human weakness, referencing the Apostle Paul’s experience and the story of Gideon, who triumphed against overwhelming odds because of faith in God. The speaker shares a personal testimony about receiving grace despite feeling unworthy, reinforcing that God’s love is unconditional for those who sincerely repent. Using the metaphor of a persimmon fruit, which becomes sweet only after drying removes its bitterness, the speaker illustrates how the innate purity in each person may be obscured by sin or hardship but can be revealed and expanded when nurtured. The message culminates in an encouragement not to lament flaws or past failures but to embrace and develop the “remaining half” of potential within, trusting in God’s sustaining grace. The sermon ends with a prayer for healing, guidance, and strength for those struggling physically, mentally, and spiritually, asking for God’s presence and grace to continue empowering believers to testify and glorify Him. Highlights - Norman Moran’s story: Overcoming paralysis to become a pianist using only his left hand. - Helen Keller’s journey: From blindness and deafness to communication through love and teaching. - The importance of a guide runner in marathon for the blind as a metaphor for spiritual guidance. - Apostle Paul’s teaching: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” - Gideon’s story: Defeating overwhelming enemies with only 300 men through faith in God. od’s promise in Joel 2:25 to restore what locusts have eaten, symbolizing restoration of lost years. - Persimmon fruit metaphor: Bitterness turns to sweetness through transformation, symbolizing inner purity.

Sermon - Unapologetically God's Child

The speaker presents a heartfelt and personal reflection on the speaker’s belief in Heavenly Parent, emphasizing that faith is not a sign of weakness or delusion but a vital and real aspect of life. The speaker asserts that God dwells within each individual as love itself, and we are all unique expressions and children of God. While acknowledging that some may find this belief offensive or disagreeable, the speaker maintains that rejecting God cuts people off from their greatest advocate and source of love. Central to the message is the concept of free will as a divine gift, allowing humans to make conscious choices between good and evil. God loves all His children—victims and perpetrators alike—and desires to save everyone, but cannot override their free will. The speaker also touches on the idea that the true expression of heavenly parents includes the marriage and blessing between a man and a woman, a belief that is often controversial but remains personally significant. The journey of faith is described as challenging and demanding, requiring 100% effort from individuals, with God doing 90% of the work. Failure is part of the process, but perseverance is essential because giving up equates to being lost. The speaker emphasizes that love, selflessness, and sacrifice help people find true purpose, joy, and happiness, often through family and relationships. The speaker highlights the emptiness and dissatisfaction people feel when they cut off their relationship with God, often seeking fulfillment in transient pleasures but still facing anxiety and depression. In contrast, God’s nature is one of love, kindness, and patience—not shame or anger. The speaker encourages to be their own best friends and supporters, to practice self-love so they can better love others, and to avoid stagnation by continually moving forward. The speaker concludes with a prayer of gratitude to heavenly parents and a call to appreciate and nurture the divine presence within, emphasizing love as an ongoing action and practice. The speaker expresses hope for growth, love, and strength in families, urging everyone to do their best one day at a time. Highlights - Faith in God is a deeply personal reality and source of strength, not weakness or delusion. - God dwells within every individual as love, and we are unique expressions of divine children. - Free will is a precious gift from God, allowing humans to choose their path and be responsible for their actions. - The speaker affirms the belief in marriage as a sacred union between one man and one woman. - Living with God requires perseverance, effort, and embracing failure as part of growth. - Cutting off from God leaves a void that worldly pursuits cannot fill, leading to anxiety and emptiness. - Self-love and kindness are essential foundations for loving others and fulfilling one’s purpose.

Sermon - Admitting “I don’t know” opens the door to learning and growth.

The speaker presents a reflective and insightful discussion centered around the themes of humility, self-awareness, spiritual growth, and the pursuit of happiness within the framework of Divine Principle and Christian teachings. The speaker begins by emphasizing the humility inherent in admitting “I don’t know,” which opens the door to learning and growth. This admission challenges defensive reactions rooted in human fallen nature and opens space for critical thinking and internal reflection. The speaker ties this process to experiences with Divine Principle, the Bible, and the teachings of True Parents, highlighting how repeated study deepens understanding and relevance to personal life. Central to the message is the concept of fallen nature—humanity’s inherent flaw derived from the biblical Fall, which causes individuals to stray from God’s perspective and seek happiness in misguided ways. The speaker explains that everyone struggles for happiness but often misdirects desire, leading to conflict and suffering. The teachings of Divine Principle guide believers to overcome fallen nature by understanding God’s love, embracing responsibility, and practicing thoughtful, considerate behavior in response to others. The speaker also touches on freedom, asserting that true freedom is inseparable from responsibility and must manifest in actions aligned with divine truth. The process of spiritual growth involves recognizing and overcoming personal shortcomings, learning from historical and contemporary examples, and consciously choosing love and kindness over selfish or hurtful responses.

Sermon

The speaker presents a comprehensive exploration of the spiritual and historical dimensions of human existence, focusing on the concept of True Parents within the providence of God. It opens with an analogy linking earthly life to eternal life in the spiritual world, emphasizing the transition from physical death to spiritual existence. The speaker reflects on God’s original ideal involving Adam, Eve, and the archangel Lucifer, explaining the fall of man as a choice that led to separation from God and domination by Satan. Throughout history, God’s providence has been a continuous effort to restore humanity through indemnity conditions, a partnership between God and mankind centered on true love. The speaker highlights key biblical figures, especially Jesus Christ, who reached the pinnacle of spiritual growth but could not fulfill the ultimate mission due to humanity’s rejection and fallen nature. The New Testament period, marked by persecution and struggle, was a continuation of this restoration process. The speaker critiques common Christian theological interpretations about Jesus’ death, asserting that the real mission was not merely sacrificial but tied to the eventual establishment of True Parents who can restore humanity fully. The concept of True Parents is central. The speaker identifies Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon as the True Parents who completed the providence through decades of suffering, restoration, and global spiritual leadership from 1968 to 2008. Their mission included blessing couples worldwide, establishing families centered on God, and overcoming Satan’s dominion without bloodshed, symbolized by a miraculous helicopter incident involving True Parents and their family. The age of the fourth Adam is introduced, describing all blessed families and followers as inheritors of True Parents’ victory and authority. The message concludes with a call to action for believers to accept their responsibility by embracing the three blessings—marriage, children, and grandchildren—and living lives centered on God’s love. The speaker emphasizes inheritance as both authority and ability to love properly, urging listeners to internalize and propagate the teachings of the True Parents. The video ends with a heartfelt prayer of gratitude and commitment to uphold the legacy of True Parents and prepare for eternal life. Highlights
