K.P. Yohannan addresses the decline of passion and vision in movements over time, illustrating how organizations can shift from being vibrant and radical to becoming rigid and bureaucratic. He reflects on the historical trajectory of movements like the YMCA and the Salvation Army, emphasizing the need for continual renewal and adaptation to avoid stagnation. Yohannan warns against the dangers of prioritizing structure over heart, and external rewards over genuine service, which can lead to a transactional mindset. He encourages a return to servanthood and faithfulness, highlighting that true value lies in a heart willing to serve rather than in titles or recognition. The sermon calls for introspection on how individuals and organizations can maintain their original zeal and purpose.

John Wright Follette preaches about the spiritual journey of Samson encountering a lion on his way to Timnath, symbolizing the flesh that opposes spiritual growth. He emphasizes the importance of not getting stuck in one spiritual experience but continually seeking deeper spiritual possessions and understanding. Follette highlights the need to face and conquer the 'lion' of the flesh, relying on the Spirit's power rather than human efforts. He encourages believers to focus on their spiritual objectives, not getting distracted by past victories or ongoing conflicts, and to trust God to turn every battle into a source of spiritual nourishment and ministry.
