In Ephesians 5:15-18, Paul encourages believers to live wisely and make the most of every opportunity, emphasizing the importance of being continually filled with the Spirit. Amidst life's challenges and distractions, he underscores that the power of the Holy Spirit sustains and guides us, offering strength and clarity. This ongoing filling empowers us to walk faithfully, embracing the fullness of God's presence and purpose in our daily lives.

In Luke 3.21-22 we see the baptism of Jesus and the descending of the Holy Spirit who becomes the source of Jesus' power for the whole of his ministry. This is the same Spirit who come to inhabit us when we are saved. The Holy Spirit is a person, He is a present in our very being and He is power.
 
The gift of the Holy Spirit is one that should thrill and excite us - God himself has come to live inside of us! In this four part series we are looking at this gift and understanding what having the Holy Spirit really means for our lives. 

Matthew 28:16-20. On Sunday we explored why Christians get baptised in water, we look at how baptism is four things: it is everywhere, it is immediate, it is obedience, it is power. 

In Daniel 3:8-12, we witness Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's unwavering faith amidst the fiery furnace. Their boldness in sharing their faith challenges us to live boldly for God in our daily lives, fearlessly proclaiming His truth and love to those around us, regardless of the consequences.

Drawing from Romans 5:1-5, we explore how pain serves as a catalyst for growth. Amidst trials, we find endurance, character, and hope. Through our suffering, God shapes us, refining our faith and deepening our reliance on Him, ultimately leading to transformation and abundant life.

Acts 16:19-34 As look beyond the life of Jesus in the Bible, we see stories of God's Kingdom now coming in and through his people. In this story, Paul and Silas demonstrate the radical freedom of the people of God, and the life of their jailer is changed as a result.
