New Creation - Wini

Wini's sermon encourages us to hunger and thirst for the Holy Spirit, to be empowered as witnesses for Jesus, and to live in the light by daily surrendering, confessing, and obeying God's Spirit.

Key Takeaways


1. Hunger and Thirst for God Open the Door to His Presence
Our experience of God is not determined by the quality of a service or the novelty of a message, but by the posture of our hearts. When we come hungry and thirsty for righteousness, God promises to fill us. If we find ourselves spiritually dry, we can simply ask God to renew our hunger and thirst, trusting that He is eager to meet us.

2.
The Holy Spirit Empowers Us to Be Witnesses, Not Just Comforted Believers
The Spirit is given not only to comfort, guide, or help us, but to empower us to be bold witnesses of Jesus. This power is not for personal gain or status, but for sharing the good news everywhere—at home, in our communities, and beyond. The transformation of Peter and countless others shows that the Spirit can turn even the timid into courageous proclaimers of Christ.

3.
Transformation Happens Through Ongoing Surrender and Repentance
The Spirit’s work is ongoing; being filled is not a one-time event but a daily process. As the Spirit convicts us of sin, we are called to confess and repent—not to earn God’s love, but because we are already loved. Regular repentance and accountability bring our struggles into the light, allowing the Spirit to transform us more and more into the likeness of Jesus.

4.
Our Light Shines Brightest in Darkness and Suffering
The world watches how we respond to hardship. Like the nuns in the internment camp or the woman who witnessed from her hospital bed, our faith and joy in suffering can be a powerful testimony. The Spirit enables us to shine with hope, peace, and love even when circumstances are bleak, drawing others to the source of our light.

5.
Obedience to the Spirit’s Promptings Multiplies the Kingdom
The Spirit often prompts us in simple, quiet ways—an idea, a nudge, a sense to reach out or invite someone. Our responsibility is to obey, leaving the results to God. Every act of obedience, no matter how small, can have a ripple effect, leading others to encounter Jesus and become lights themselves.
