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.

Walter Beuttler preaches on 'The Hook of Judges,' highlighting the repeated cycle of sin, judgment, repentance, and deliverance in the book. The key phrase 'every man did that which was right in his own eyes' reflects the chaos and anarchy that ensued in Israel due to their disobedience and apostasy. The message of the book reveals the deterioration of a nation, the providence of God in national affairs, and the consequences of religious apostasy on a national scale.
