Isn't it weird that the Bible has all these little verse and chapter markers? And the original writers of the books of the Bible didn't write them. So, where did they come from? Kaitlyn explains why we have verse and chapter markers and how it sometimes changes how we read the Bible.

They discuss what was at stake, how he got through it, what happens to leaders who don't take action, and how Craig recovered fully from what almost took him out.

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to close church fellowship is the people we have to fellowship with. Dr. Tony Evans explains how we can blend diverse people into a close-knit family of faith—cultivating an authentic community even across cultural and racial lines.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Ephesians 5:18

The Christian life is a blessing, but if we don’t understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit, it can feel more like a burden. The secret to a blessed Christian life is being filled with the Holy Spirit. It is important to know how to have a spirit-filled life.

Ephesians 5:18 says, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit...”

Having a Spirit-filled life is a command from God to obey, as well as a blessing to enjoy. It is also our obligation as Christians, because on our own, we don’t have the strength to do what the Bible commands us to do.

The only way to truly worship God is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Our marriages and work relationships hinge on this as well. We serve our families and colleagues as we should when we first submit to the Holy Spirit.

It is also how we win in this spiritual warfare we face every day. It is our only hope in ever witnessing to others. We are up against the organized, demonic forces of Hell.

Ephesians 5:15-16 says, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

Adrian Rogers says, “There has never been a greater day, a greater age, a greater opportunity to preach the Gospel of Jesus than right now.”

What are the requirements of being filled with the Holy Spirit?

There must first be a complete commitment to Christ. We must continually yield control to Him, consciously claiming our dependence on Him every moment. When we do this, we receive a spirit of adoration for God—a passionate, blazing love for Jesus Christ that doesn’t burn out.

We also receive a spirit of appreciation for our circumstances. Ephesians 5:20 claims Christians are to be, “Giving thanks always for all things…”

Finally, we receive a spirit of accommodation toward others. Every day, every place, we are learning to submit to and serve others.

Apply it to your life

Adrian Rogers says, “We need a generation of Spirit-filled people. As the night grows darker, the saints grow brighter, and the hunger intensifies. And there are people who are looking, waiting, wondering: Is there an answer? The answer is in Christ.”

How can David confidently say "I shall not want" when we live with so many unfulfilled desires? Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 23:2-3, unpacking four ways the Good Shepherd provides for our daily needs: sufficient food ("green pastures"), peace for anxious minds ("still waters"), forgiveness and spiritual renewal ("restores my soul"), and wise guidance ("paths of righteousness"). Like sheep who lie down only when fully satisfied, we can rest in the Shepherd's care.

God's Provision: The sheep don't know what they need, but the shepherd does—and he arranges everything for their care. This is why David declared, "The LORD is my shepherd"—because God provides all we truly want and need. In this five-message series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalms 23 and 37, unpacking what it means to trust the Good Shepherd who guides, protects, and provides for our deepest needs.
