Be Filled With The Spirit (Part 2)
May 15, 2022 Speaker: Jim Harris Series: Ephesians
Scripture: Ephesians 5:18
In our study of Ephesians we have encountered a watershed verse concerning the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. The everyday ministry of the Holy Spirit in the believer is as important as any subject we will ever study.
Ephesians 5:18-21: And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
