This sermon, “Waiting on God to Show Up with Power,” centers on  Acts 1 and emphasizes that the Christian life and mission are not meant to be carried out in human strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Steve Holt explains that after His resurrection, Jesus instructed His disciples to wait—not act—until they were “clothed in power” through the Holy Spirit, highlighting the essential difference between water baptism (a public declaration of repentance and faith) and Spirit baptism (an empowering encounter with God’s presence). The message challenges the common desire for control, productivity, or even political solutions, redirecting believers to a Kingdom of God mindset where true transformation comes through spiritual power, not human effort. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to move from fear to boldness, from striving to trusting, and from religion to a Spirit-filled relationship with Christ—urging them to surrender fully, receive the Holy Spirit’s ongoing filling, and become empowered witnesses who carry God’s kingdom to the world.
