Be Filled With the Holy Spirit
In this sermon, Bates explores Paul’s command in Ephesians 5:18 and reminds us that the Christian life is not meant to be lived through our own strength. Using the picture of a sailboat catching the wind, he shows how the Holy Spirit empowers, guides, and transforms believers as they position themselves to receive His work. Through Scripture, worship, prayer, community, and thanksgiving, we learn to pray a simple but life-changing prayer: “Holy Spirit, fill me and lead me.”
