Sermon
Spirit Filled Thanksgiving
Ephesians 5:15-20
Introduction
What can we expect to happen if we are filled with
the Spirit? And How do we get filled
with the Spirit?
[15] Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. [17] Therefore do not
be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
[18] And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
[19] addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your
heart, [20] giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, [21] submitting to
one another out of reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:15-21 ESV)

What is your ringtone when you call on God? ♫
What does God hear?
“How Great Thou Art” or “I Did it My Way”
SUBMITTING TO ONE ANOTHER
We won’t be subject to one another in our marriages,
families and work unless we have great joy in God.
HOW DO WE GET FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT?
The primary way to drink in the Spirit is to read, meditate
on, and believe the breathings of the Spirit
recorded in the Scripture.
Being careful how we walk means to be careful to see to it that we are filled or controlled by the Holy
Spirit.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with
all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your
hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or
deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to
God the Father through him.
HOW ARE WE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
BY LETTING THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN US
RICHLY AND BY APPROPRIATING BY FAITH HIS POWER IN OUR LIVES.
