The main idea of Pastor Brad's message was that the Holy Spirit is integral to living a Christ-like life. He taught us that the Holy Spirit is our inner voice, convicting us of sin and affirming our righteousness. As our teacher, the Holy Spirit reminds us of Jesus' teachings and reveals the truth. As our guide, He directs our paths. Pastor Brad highlighted that being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a one-time event but a continual process that shapes us into God's image and gives us the power to fulfill our divine purpose.

What does it mean to you to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and how can we pursue that continually?
How can the Holy Spirit transform our understanding of God's purpose for our lives?
What are some practical steps we can take to ensure we are not grieving the Holy Spirit?
In Pastor Brad's sermon titled 'THE HOLY SPIRIT' at our church, he explored the essential role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He reminded us that the Holy Spirit is not just a power source but a personal guide, teacher, and friend. We learned that while we may have all of the Holy Spirit upon salvation, it's up to us to embrace His full power. Pastor Brad emphasized the transformative impact of being filled with the Holy Spirit, which allows us to know God more intimately, gives our lives purpose, and empowers us to be God's witnesses to the ends of the earth.
Begin each day by seeking the Holy Spirit to fill you up, empowering you to be sent out.
Strive to be continually full of the Holy Spirit, rather than just experiencing His presence occasionally.
