Sermon Notes
Christians who are filled with the Spirit overflow

In Ephesians 5:17, Paul commands that Christians "Be Filled with the Holy Spirit." He goes on to describe three results ("overflows") of that filling – worship, thanksgiving, and practicing submission in relationships

Definition - "Submission is a voluntary act of coming under another person in order to lift them up in love"

Paul's description from Phil 2 - “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (Phil. 2:3–4 ESV)

Jesus is the supreme example of practicing submission – on the Cross he voluntarily made himself less and came under unworthy sinners in order to lift us up into God's love and salvation

Jesus remains king even though he practices submission. If we are in positions of authority, we can still practice submission without compromising our position (as a boss, parent, etc.)

If we lack authority in a relationship and are expected to submit (to a boss, parent, etc.), we can still choose to do so out of reverence for Christ (5:21) which is a much stronger motivation

Practicing submission requires wisdom and godly discernment. It does not mean submitting to harmful behavior from another person

Practicing submission cannot happen in our own strength – it is the result of first being filled by the Holy Spirit!
Sermon Application
What is the command in Ephesians 5:17-21? What are the results?

Can you think of a person who treats you with submission and service?

Why must we be filled with the Holy Spirit before trying to practice submission in our relationships?

Can you think of some examples where submission is not an appropriate way to treat another person?

Describe how a person in a position of authority can still demonstrate submission toward someone below them?

For the Christian, why is the motivation of serving Christ greater than the motivation of pleasing the boss or bettering one's reputation?

July 23, 2023Mt Pleasant :: Randy Forrester: God's Providence, Your Peace
Bible Study
Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Genesis 50:15-21, Romans 8:18-30.
Does everything happen for a reason? Whose reason? Can we trust it?
In a life filled with uncertainty, the Bible gives robust answers instead of vague sentiments. Scripture both tells us and shows us the glorious promise of God's Providence. What is God's providence?
His "purposeful sovereignty"- John Piper, Providence (Crossway, 2020)

His working all things together for good - Romans 8:28

His taking what was meant for evil and using it for blessing - Gen 50:20
Heidelberg Catechism 1563
"God's providence is His almighty and ever present power, whereby, as with His hand, He still upholds heaven and earth and all creatures, and so governs them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, food and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, indeed, all things, come not by chance but by His fatherly hand."
Lillias Trotter - “Take the very hardest thing in your life - the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom.”
The mystery and tension: “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.” (Acts 2:22–23 ESV)
Do you think everything happens for a reason? Is this a helpful statement? Why or why not?

Job said this: “Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” (Job 2:10 NIV11). What do you think of his question in light of this sermon?

Describe the tension between God's Providence and human choice. Where is that mystery put on display in Scripture?

In what ways has God's Providence given you comfort and peace?
