This sermon focused on the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit rather than human effort in Christian life and ministry. Pastor Terry emphasized that it is “not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord” (Zechariah 4:6). He discussed how the early apostles were instructed to wait for the Holy Spirit’s power before beginning their ministry, even though they had walked with Jesus. The sermon highlighted the inadequacy of human wisdom, strength, or charisma in accomplishing God’s work, stressing that only through the Spirit’s power can believers effectively minister and make the gospel believable to others. Pastor encouraged the congregation to seek the Spirit’s filling and leading, to be vessels empty of self and full of Christ, and to pray for a renewed outpouring of the Spirit’s power in the church. He concluded by leading the congregation in prayer, asking God to anoint them afresh with the Holy Spirit for effective ministry in their community and beyond.
