(Remember my post here when I released the My Work Matters series?)
In the last 3 months or so I have been captivated by the word "fullness" in the Bible. Just put the word "fullness" in any electronic bible commentary and "presto!"
Here is a sample - what a cracker .........
Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:19 (MSG)This is a series about living in the fullness of all that God has prepared for us... living in the fullness of His Spirit.
Check out some of the key series thoughts underneath the series artwork (below).
I'll also post a link soon to one of the songs we will be using ... any guesses??
The series starts Sunday 2 August 2009 10am - see you there!
It is God’s deep desire that all believers answer to the call to live the Spirit-filled, Spirit-formed life... “to live in the fullness of God.”
This is the normal Christian life as conceived by Jesus.
It is the kind of life, experience and witness that is described in the book of Acts. The steps forward to the Spirit-formed life are set out in the Bible:
1. Be Spirit-born by repenting for your sins and by putting faith in Jesus Christ as your Saviour, verifying the commitment by obeying Jesus Christ as Lord and being baptised in water (see Acts 2:38,39)
2. Be Spirit-filled by receiving the promise Jesus gave that His followers will receive power – power to move in new dimensions of worship, praise, prayer, service and witness (see Acts 1:5-8; 2:1-4)
3. To “walk in the Spirit” or be Spirit-formed by recognised that the entry door of new birth and the birthright blessing of Holy Spirit fullness are only beginnings – both calling us a believers to growth in Christ likeness and discipleship under His lordship (see Rom 12:1,2; Acts 2:42,46,47).
(Thanks to Ps Jack Hayford for guiding some of my thoughts in this vital area.)
This series will be a gateway for those looking for full-dimensional spirituality ... true Spirit-fullness!
The series starts Sunday 2 August 2009 10am - see you there!
