Walk in Power

Series: Watch Your Step

Summary

Do you want a refill of God’s Spirit (Ephesians 5:15-18). Every person, regardless of their ethnicity or background, desires hope, joy, and satisfaction. Unfortunately, many seek to find that satisfaction – and to escape the pain and challenges of reality – in excessive alcohol, mind-altering drugs, unbridled materialism, and/or sexuality without boundaries. God is gently yet clearly telling us that there is a better way to deal with the difficulties of living in our fallen, evil world: being continually filled with His Spirit. When we are continually filled with the Spirit, we are empowered to become like Jesus, to embrace His truth, and live out His purposes for our lives. We position ourselves to be continually filled by the Holy Spirit when we step into encouraging community, engage in worship, practice exaggerated thanksgiving, and audaciously serve others.

The Christian faith is about me submitting to and relying on the Spirit of God for the   to be and do everything God wants. (Acts 1:8)

It is regularly asking Him to completely     It is a desire to draw near and live daily in His presence. (Ps. 16:11)

Our response to the evil of our day isn't to escape it but   it with the power of the gospel.

The Spirit leads us - we step in obedience in engagement - He then fills us with His Spirit to empower us for the
