Title: One Mark of the Spirit-Filled Christian
Theme: Spirit-filled Christians are thank-filled Christians.
Reference: Ephesians 5:15-21
- Holy Spirit ___________________, v. 18
- This is God’s command and our great privilege.
- Those His Word renews & His Spirit fills He empowers to follow Christ
- Holy Spirit ____________________, v. 20
- We experience His power as constant, consistent thankfulness.
- His Holy Supper is a form of this thankful love.
Questions for Study:
- What does the filling of the Holy Spirit look like, according to Ephesians 5-6; Luke 1:67ff? It His filling meant to be a specialized or normal experience?
- With what outward actions do some associate the Spirit’s filling?
- Is the Spirit’s filling meant only for “elite” believers?
- Have you ever sought the Spirit’s filling? Why or why not?
- What is the connection between being filled with the Spirit and having the Word of Christ richly dwell in us? (Colossians 3:16-17).
- How is the Lord’s Supper a thanksgiving meal?
