Empowered by the Spirit
Oct 19, 2025 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Human effort alone cannot break the hold of sin, but the Holy Spirit empowers believers from within, through prayer and through the Word. Moving from Jeremiah's new covenant to Jesus' parable of the persistent widow, the sermon recalls Monica's years of prayer for her son Augustine. It closes in Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, where God-breathed Scripture and the breath of the Spirit raise a lifeless people.
