Awakened to a New Empowerment

Summary

The sermon explores the human tendency to live mundane, shallow lives, using Walker Percy's novel "The Moviegoer" as a metaphor for spiritual emptiness and the search for deeper meaning. The speaker emphasizes that many people feel stuck in a repetitive, unfulfilling existence, constantly seeking distractions but yearning for something more substantive. Drawing from the biblical book of Acts, the sermon suggests that being "on-mission" for God's kingdom provides the weightiness and purpose that people crave, and that the Holy Spirit is the key to moving from a life of spiritual lethargy to one of significance and mission.
