Sermon: Be Filled with theSpirit
The Lord is one
no
division
no
mixed opinion
no
confusion
entirely
on-message all the time
doing
his work - cleansing, redeeming, healing
On the other hand, we aren’t
much like the Lord.
division
strife
gossip
backbiting
straining
out camels, swallowing gnats
trying
to good and often doing evil
even
look at our Lord’s good pleasure and call it evil
We
try to trust in our position, trust in our armor, trust in our riches
it
all falls apart
Sometimes when what we are
trusting in falls apart it is the Lord at work
breaking
down our defenses
establishing
his authority
showing
us we need to depend on him rather than ourselves
What happens when we decide to
be in charge of what the Lord can and can’t do?
hinder
the work of the Holy Spirit
he
cleanses us and we pull away from him
evil
spirits bring seven (number of completion) more evil and we are in
deep trouble
What will we do instead?
Be
filled with the Spirit
Recognize
and worship the one true Lord
rejoice
in the work he does
willingly
pursue the goals we find in the Scripture and that our trusted
leaders are laying out
above
all trust that Jesus is able to accomplish his work through us
He can make us one,
unconfused, undivided, powerful, on-message, and dedicated to
bringing healing and grace to our world
