In this sermon, the speaker discusses the three distinct periods of time mentioned in verses 17 to 20, which are believed to refer to the nation of Israel. The speaker emphasizes that God had been speaking to the people of Israel for many years, leading them out of captivity and promising to establish a testimony in them. The sermon then shifts to the idea of having a compelling testimony in one's life. The speaker encourages the audience to consider if their lives are a testimony to God's work and if they are allowing Christ to preach through them in their everyday lives. The sermon concludes with a reference to Peter's sermon in Acts 2, where he declares that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of what the prophet Joel had spoken about.

G. Campbell Morgan emphasizes the individual application of Jesus' teachings in Luke 14, where Jesus critiques the social behaviors of the Pharisees during a Sabbath meal. He highlights the importance of humility and genuine hospitality, urging guests to seek the lowest places and hosts to invite the marginalized rather than those who can repay them. Morgan illustrates that many admire the Kingdom of God but make excuses to avoid entering it, revealing a disconnect between admiration and action. He warns that legitimate pursuits can become sinful when they distract from the highest calling of the Kingdom. Ultimately, he calls for a complete surrender to Christ, as true discipleship requires prioritizing the Kingdom above all else.
