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.

Ed Wrather preaches about the reluctance of Moses, Gideon, and Esther to fulfill the call of God in their lives, despite being well-equipped and prepared by God for their missions. Moses, Gideon, and Esther all faced fear and reluctance due to the potential risks involved in obeying God's call, yet they were chosen and prepared by God for specific purposes. The sermon challenges listeners to reflect on their own fears and hesitations in responding to God's call, urging them not to let embarrassment, financial concerns, or opposition from others hinder them from experiencing the blessings of obedience.
