Will we move beyond mere intellectual assent or passive Christianity to actively living lives fully surrendered and empowered by the Holy Spirit? This week Wes challenges listeners by emphasizing that experiencing Pentecost isn't simply about historical remembrance but about ongoing immersion in the Holy Spirit, who transforms timid followers into bold, Spirit-led believers. He provocatively suggests that many Christians today have settled for Jesus merely as Savior—focusing on personal salvation—while neglecting Jesus as Lord, meaningfully submitting every aspect of their lives to His transformative power.

Would God wait on The Church of Nanaimo to fully yield themselves to Him before blessing us with a greater spiritual outpouring?

The sermon concludes with a call to humility and yieldedness, reinforced by a prophetic image shared by Becca, Wes' wife: “If you would only bend your knee, they would be able to see Me.”‍

Wes emphasizes this posture of submission and hunger for the Holy Spirit as critical not only for individual spiritual health but also for effective witness and the broader spiritual awakening in the community.

Acts 2:1–4 - The coming of The Holy Spirit at Pentecost
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. ² And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ³ And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
