Pastor Landon walks through the book of Joel on Pentecost Sunday, showing how this minor prophet points directly to revival, repentance, restoration, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. From the devastation of locusts to the promise of God restoring “the years the locusts have eaten,” this message is a call for the church to spiritually wake up and return wholeheartedly to the Lord.

This sermon connects Joel’s prophecy to Acts 2 and the birth of the church at Pentecost, reminding believers that the Holy Spirit empowers us to boldly proclaim Jesus in a world desperate for hope. Pastor Landon challenges the church to move beyond comfort, distraction, and shallow religion into true surrender, holiness, and Spirit-filled living.

“Rend your heart and not your garments… Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness.” – Joel 2:13

In this message:

* The warning and mercy found in Joel
* Spiritual awakening and repentance
* Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
* God’s promise to restore wasted years
* Living with eternal perspective
* The need for both the Word of God and the Spirit of God
* Returning to Jesus with all your heart

Whether you feel spiritually dry, distracted, weary, or hungry for more of God, this sermon is a reminder that the invitation still stands: Return to the Lord.
