Spirits on SermonAudio

Regular Worship Service @MissionBlvdBaptistChurch

Music is not morally neutral, but has a powerful influence on the heart, mind, body, emotions, and character of those who hear it. According to Ephesians 5:10-11 believers must prove what is acceptable unto the Lord and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, especially in the music used for worship. Godly music should be marked by order, melody, harmony, reverence, and spiritual purpose, while fleshly and worldly music appeals to the body, stirs carnal passions, and will lead the church away from holiness and truth. It is critical, in this late hour, to exercise careful discernment, especially in the house of God, so that music offered in worship honors the Lord rather than conforming to the spirit and appetites of the world.

The sermon warns believers against false teaching and worldly influences by urging them to remain vigilant and grounded in Scripture. It contrasts walking after the flesh with walking after the Spirit, emphasizing that while Christians struggle with daily sin, their will must align with God's righteousness. Drawing primarily from Romans 8, the message highlights the freedom from condemnation found in Christ Jesus and the assurance of His intercession. The preacher stresses that salvation requires a continuous battle against temptation, not a license to live in darkness. Ultimately, the call is to keep eyes fixed on Jesus, trusting in His grace while actively fleeing sin and pursuing holiness.

1 John 4:2 "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"

The greatest testimony you'll ever have isn't framed on a wall or printed on a certificate, it's the life that others read every day. This message from 2 Corinthians 3 challenges us to ask whether we are living as the epistle of Christ, pointing people to Jesus through a Spirit-filled life rather than seeking the approval of men.

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit to live a victorious Christian life, contrasting the power of the Spirit with the limitations of the flesh. It outlines four key actions of the Holy Spirit: providing power for daily living, preventing sin through restraint, pulling believers away from legalistic bondage into freedom, and producing the ninefold fruit of salvation within the believer. The preacher argues that failure to walk in the Spirit is evidence of not being full of Him, rather than a flaw in God's provision. Using illustrations such as a physical struggle between opposing forces and an inactive phone, the message clarifies that believers possess all spiritual resources at salvation but must be activated by the Spirit to function effectively. Ultimately, those filled with the Spirit are described as 'dead' to self-glory and criticism, allowing them to serve others with humility and peace.

The Spirit of God Luke 4:18 I. His Preaching. II. His Prompting. III. His Power. IV. His Path.

Jesus calls us out of darkness and into a brand‑new identity. His light wakes us up from complacency and empowers us by Scripture and the Spirit to shine wherever He's placed us, whether that's soccer fields or city streets. In this episode, we remember that we are witnesses of His greatness, living with gratitude as we love and shine like Jesus.
