"Empowered by the Spirit"

Oct 19, 2025    Rev. Charlie Holt

In this powerful sermon from Jeremiah 31, Luke 18, and 2 Timothy 3, Rev. Charlie Holt explores what it truly means to live a Spirit-filled life. Drawing from Scripture and Anglican teaching, he explains that humanity’s greatest problem is not just disobedience but a broken nature—one that only the Holy Spirit can heal and empower. Rev. Holt reminds us that God doesn’t leave us in our sin but gives us a new heart, empowered to follow Him. Through the parable of the persistent widow and the story of Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, he shows how prayer and Scripture breathe life into our faith, enabling us to persevere against adversity and live as God’s renewed, Spirit-filled people.
