In his message about rediscovering spiritual vitality, Pastor challenges believers to break free from religious routine and embrace the vibrant joy of salvation. Drawing from Malachi's final prophetic words, he paints a vivid picture of God's desire for His people to "leap like calves released from the stall" - not merely trudging through faith, but celebrating it with unbridled enthusiasm. Through the story of the healed beggar who immediately began jumping and praising God, Pastor illustrates how genuine encounters with Jesus should transform our spiritual posture from limping to leaping. He offers practical steps for rekindling this joy: cultivating daily thanksgiving, actively sharing our faith story, and serving others generously. The message culminates in a stirring call to action: let our visible joy in Christ become so compelling that others are drawn to ask about the source of our hope. "We're selling the Gospel short," he warns, when we reduce Christianity to mere rule-following instead of embracing the abundant life Jesus died to give us.
