“Living by the Power of the Holy Spirit” - 10am Traditional Eucharist

May 24, 2026  •  The Rev. Billy Cerveny

This sermon uses the image of an underpowered car struggling up a mountain to illustrate how Christians often try to navigate spiritual growth through their own strength, only to discover their deep need for the Holy Spirit . It explains that the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force or spiritual enhancement, but the personal presence of God dwelling within believers to reveal Jesus, awaken faith, and transform hearts from the inside out. The message emphasizes that every Christian already possesses the Holy Spirit, rejecting the idea that only certain “elite” believers experience God’s Spirit in meaningful ways. Ultimately, the sermon invites listeners to become more attentive to the Holy Spirit’s work around them, asking God to open the eyes of their hearts so they can recognize and join in what He is already doing.
