Think About It … Why do some people “look at the glass” half- full, and others see it “half-empty”? Today we consider seeing and acting in harmony with God’s purposes. – We look at what it means to be filled with God’s Spirit

Listen for Paul’s warning. Ephes. 5:17-18 (NIV) Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. [18] Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Be Filled with the Spirit Paul talks about wine or alcohol … how does alcohol control a person? What other kinds of things are people controlled by in our culture? How does Paul describe this state of affairs in one’s life? What alternative does Paul give for being controlled by alcohol?

Be Filled with the Spirit

Listen for results of the filling of the Spirit. Ephes. 5:19-21 (NIV) Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, [20] always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. [21] Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Be Filled to Serve Name some of your favorite hymns or praise songs … Why do these songs mean so much to us? What commands for church members do you see in the passage? What commands do you see for individuals?

Be Filled to Serve How is this different than how the world looks at life? As a believer in the midst of hardship, why is it important to have a thankful attitude towards God? Why would unbelievers be confused when believers are thankful in the midst of hardships? What do they not understand?

Listen for how God’s Spirit helps us in our weakness. Ephes. 6:18 (NIV) And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Romans 8:26-27 (NIV) In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

Listen for how God’s Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. [27] And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

Be Filled to Pray What are some synonyms for the term “intercede”? Why is such a person sometimes needed? How might any of these things be true between us and God?

Be Filled to Pray According to this passage, how does the Holy Spirit join us to help in our praying? What kinds of situations do we face where we need God's Spirit to intervene for us?

Application Ask yourself what/who controls your life – It’s not only alcohol that can cause a life of dissipation – Surrender your life to the control of God’s Holy Spirit – The meaning of the original text is “be being filled.” It is an ongoing, daily surrender.

Application Being victorious as a Christian depends on being empowered by the Spirit – God’s Spirit speaks to us and through us as we worship together in songs and hymns – God’s Spirit empowers believers to live above the problems and hardships of everyday life – We can know that God’s Spirit is at work in every situation in our lives and we can be thankful

Application Prayer is a result of the Spirit’s work in the life of the believer. – We don’t know how to pray, but the Spirit leads us – God’s Spirit will take our requests to God the Father in a way that best communicates our true need
