K.P. Yohannan reflects on the spiritual values of Western believers, expressing concern over their absorption of humanistic and materialistic ideals prevalent in secular culture. He warns of impending judgment on the United States, emphasizing that God's abundance is not guaranteed forever. During his time in Texas, he is struck by the contrast between the superficial achievements of large churches and buildings and the simple blessings that many in the Two-Thirds World cherish. He notes the overwhelming presence of media and noise in American life, which he finds troubling and indicative of a deeper spiritual malaise. Yohannan's message calls for a reevaluation of what truly matters in faith and life.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that Zion represents the embodiment of the spiritual values of Jesus Christ, highlighting that God speaks through His Son, who is the fullness of God's message. He urges believers to recognize their true needs and to understand that God's speaking is not merely about doctrine but is found in the person of Christ. The sermon stresses the importance of sonship and the discipline that comes with it, as God is focused on developing mature sons for His purpose. Sparks calls for a shift from pragmatism to valuing eternal spiritual significance in ministry, reminding that God's jealousy is for the true spiritual values represented in Zion.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes that when God speaks, it is not just mere words, but an act. The word of God is described as quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. The speaker also highlights the importance of testing everything by spiritual values, rather than pragmatism, and emphasizes that the ministry of a person should not be judged by the number of engagements or Bible teachings, but by the impact of God's word. The sermon concludes by discussing the three aspects of the word of God: its thought, expression, and person, with a focus on Jesus as the embodiment of God's word.
