Empowered by the Spirit
Oct 19, 2025 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Luke's parable of the widow and the unjust judge frames an evening sermon on being empowered by the Spirit. Freedom from sin begins as the Spirit writes God's law on the heart, yet power also comes from outside ourselves, through persistent prayer like Monica's for Augustine. Scripture is pictured as a sail and the Spirit as the wind, and Ezekiel's dry bones show the two together giving life.
