The sermon explores the “Glorious Hope” of Christianity as the antidote to life’s inherent futility. By examining the nature of death as “sleep” and the resurrection as “victory,” the preacher encourages believers to live joyfully, focusing on the eternal home Christ is currently preparing for them.
Marking the second day of the New Year, the sermon calls for a radical spiritual renewal. Moving beyond “religion,” Brother Edward emphasizes Christianity as a “new life” through Christ. He urges the congregation to abandon past failures and fatigue, embracing God’s promise of new power, mindset, and eternal hope.
Preacher Edward Hovsepian Mehr delivers a bilingual sermon (Armenian/English) on the reality of Heaven. He argues that earthly troubles persist because believers forget their heavenly hope. Through personal anecdotes and scripture, he describes Heaven as a place of eternal peace, relational restoration, and continuous spiritual growth.
This bilingual sermon emphasizes that the Second Coming is the “ultimate plan” of God. It provides three core benefits: awakening the believer from spiritual slumber, providing true comfort in the face of death, and motivating a holy life. The preacher concludes that the “Way of the Gospel” is the “Way of the Cross.”
