Tenth Church Sermons

A sermon exploring how prayer and providence shape the people God places in our lives. Stories of unexpected friendships, reconnections, and providential romance illustrate divine guidance. Practical prompts about praying for children’s friends and staying present where God has placed you. A call to love those God brings, even through pain, with Christlike, unconditional care.

Chris Chiu, a community member and spiritual director trained in Ignatian exercises, shares a personal vocational testimony. He talks about discerning a call to leave industry, waiting for signs, and how family and prayer shaped that transition. Conversations explore consolation versus desolation, training as a spiritual companion, and trusting the Spirit’s guidance in big and small decisions.
