The sermon focuses on the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in the past as essential preparation for the new year, rather than just making resolutions and plans for the future.

The sermon, titled "Far Greater," focuses on the parallel announcements of John the Baptist's and Jesus's births in Luke 1, emphasizing God's power through impossible births (Elizabeth's barrenness and Mary's virginity). Through these accounts, the sermon illustrates three main points about God - His power to do the impossible, His preeminence shown through Jesus becoming the "most low," and His faithfulness to His promises despite our belief or unbelief.

The sermon discusses the concept of hope and deliverance through the lens of Isaiah 9, explaining that while humans often seek deliverance through self-reliant means, true deliverance comes through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that God's path to deliverance is different from our expectations - it primarily delivers us from sin rather than just circumstances, comes through the unexpected means of a child (Jesus), and is accomplished by a unique Deliverer who offers eternal salvation rather than just temporary relief.

The sermon discusses the concept of righteousness, defining it not just as moral behavior but as living life the way God intended - in perfect flourishing and abundance. Through Jesus Christ, God provides His righteousness as a gift to those who believe, making them right with Him and meeting their deepest needs for acceptance, security, and significance.

In his sermon, Jason addresses the theme of suffering, challenging the notion that a life of faith should be free from hardship. He uses the book of Habakkuk to show that trials, rather than signifying God's absence, can deepen one's faith and foster reliance on Him. The sermon concludes with a message of hope that believers can trust in God's plan and find assurance in Jesus, knowing that all suffering will eventually cease.

This sermon addresses depression through the lens of Lamentations, particularly focusing on Jeremiah's raw expressions of despair and eventual hope in God.

Pastor Ryan delves into the impact of shame on our lives, drawing from personal experiences and the story of the woman healed by Jesus. He elucidates how shame drives us to hide and overachieve, yet through faith in Jesus, we can be freed from shame's burden. Pastor Ryan encourages a shift towards desperate faith in Jesus, emphasizing that our identity is rooted in His love and sacrifice, not past actions or others' opinions. The sermon concludes with a prayer, reminding the congregation of their new identity as beloved children of God, free from shame and embraced in community.

The sermon stresses faith in Jesus for salvation, with a call to make a personal decision to follow him. Pastor Kwon encourages the congregation to reflect on their relationship with Jesus and solidify their faith.

The sermon emphasizes the transformative power of the gospel, highlighting how Jesus' promise to the thief on the cross—"Today you will be with me in paradise"—demonstrates God's grace and the assurance of salvation for those who trust in Him.
