Make Good Habits: The Habit of Being Filled with the Holy Spirit

Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at developing good habits. Today, we begin the habit of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Watch the full Sunday service and message by Pastor Dennis Jacobson below.

SERMON TEXT

Luke 4:14-21 (ESV)

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

SERMON NOTES

Who is the Holy Spirit?

• • A member of the Trinity

What does He do?

• • Empowers believers
  • Is present in times of trouble
  • Helps us worship God
  • Prays for us
  • Teaches us – helps us to understand
  • Transforms us from within
  • Gives us peace

At the moment of salvation:

• • You are born in the Spirit
  • You are baptized of the Spirit
  • You are sealed by the Spirit
  • You are indwelt by the Spirit

Being filled with the Spirit isn’t about getting more of the Spirit… but the Spirit getting more of you.
