February 7, 2021 – This is Just the Beginning

Fresh Start Christian Church
Service Outline – February 7, 2021

Current Teaching Series: “The Filing of the Holy Spirit”

Main Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-21

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

  • The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard (Isaiah 58:8b)

  • My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. (John 10:27)
  • Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ (Isaiah 58:9a)

Jesus Luke 4:1-14

  • Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:10-11)
  • Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
  • He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
  • Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20)

GO FORWARD

  • Stand[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)
  • Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19)

GO DEEPER

  • As the deer [b]pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and [c]appear before God? (Psalm 42:1-2)
