“Running on Empty”

Nov 8, 2026  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

This sermon teaches that true spiritual wisdom means living each day prepared for the return of Jesus Christ, rather than merely professing faith while neglecting the spiritual disciplines and obedience that demonstrate a genuine relationship with Him. Drawing from Jesus' parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids in Matthew 25, it emphasizes three essential qualities of a faithful Christian life: spiritual preparation, personal responsibility for one's faith, and perseverance through life's challenges, reminding believers that no one can rely on another person's relationship with God or assume there will always be more time to prepare. Ultimately, the sermon challenges believers to stop running on empty spiritually, embrace God's gracious gift of time, and turn wholeheartedly toward Christ through repentance and faithful obedience, so that whenever He returns, they will be ready to welcome Him.
