A Sermon Preached in York Minister, on St. Bartholomew's Day, Friday, August 24, 1877 / on the Occasion of the Consecration of the Right Rev. Rowley Hill, Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man

Name: A Sermon Preached in York Minister, on St. Bartholomew's Day, Friday, August 24, 1877 / on the Occasion of the Consecration of the Right Rev. Rowley Hill, Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man
Author: Edward Hoare

The sermon, delivered at a cathedral consecration, reflects on the promise that followers will receive power from the Holy Spirit to be witnesses. The preacher describes the large, devout congregation and the moving communion as evidence of gospel ministry fruit, attributes success to plain preaching of conversion, justification by faith, forgiveness through atonement, and new life by the Spirit. He argues ministers and laypeople alike need supernatural strengthening, clarifies that the Spirit's power enables testimony rather than judgment or sacramental mediation, and locates its source in Pentecost and ongoing divine promise. The address closes with exhortations to steadfastness in gospel principles and trust in God's promises.
