Denying the Works of the Holy Spirit

This sermon focuses on the active presence and divine works of the Holy Spirit in the church community, drawing inspiration from Mark 3:22-35 concerning the unforgivable sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. The speaker uses a recent story about a significant, unexpected donation to the church to illustrate God’s tangible provision and miraculous involvement, which cannot be explained by human effort alone. Emphasizing that God is undeniably present and working in this place, the message challenges the congregation to actively participate and serve in God’s vineyard today, echoing the urgency found in Matthew 21:28 and the reprimands in the book of Haggai for neglecting God's house. Ultimately, the sermon calls for the community to arise, build, and share the powerful testimony of God’s goodness and activity with others, ensuring the church does not fall into ruin.
