Stirred Up

The sermon emphasizes personal spiritual growth and the role of individual believers in spreading the Gospel. It challenges the congregation to move beyond "nursery" stage Christianity, embrace transformation, and actively minister in their daily lives. The speaker critiques the church's tendency to promote the idea that people need to come to the church to get saved instead of individual believers sharing their faith outside the church walls. Drawing an analogy from cleaning a dirty pool, the speaker illustrates how the Holy Spirit stirs up the "debris" in our lives for purification. He cites a statistic that 34% of the US population has never been to church, presenting this as an opportunity for individual believers to share their faith. The speaker references the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4 to highlight Jesus's acceptance and love.
