Pastor Gene’s sermon focuses on building a strong spiritual foundation as the church prepares to transition to a new campus. He emphasizes that the foundation of faith must be based on the teachings of the New Testament, especially the book of Acts, rather than trends or superficial elements. Creativity and relevance are encouraged in church life, but the core of their mission must remain centered on God’s word.

Using an analogy of teaching his daughter to drive, Pastor Gene highlights the importance of paying attention to life’s warning signs, especially as it relates to spiritual focus. Just as drivers must heed stop signs, believers must guard their hearts and stay focused on their spiritual mission. He urges the congregation not to get distracted by comparisons with other churches or societal trends, but to maintain their unique mission, serving the community with love, healing, and transformation.

Key themes include protecting one’s heart, receiving a spiritual inheritance, and investing in others. Pastor Gene reminds the congregation that true security comes only through Jesus, not in worldly possessions or status, and challenges them to live out their faith by serving others. The sermon concludes with an invitation to build life on the foundation of Jesus and encourages those present to commit or recommit their lives to Christ.
