Being filled with the Holy Spirit isn’t a goal to reach, it’s a gift to receive.

Summary

The sermon explores the structure of Ephesians, contrasting its first half detailing God's certain accomplishments in Christ with its second half issuing ethical commands. Key references include the indicative and imperative verb moods in original Greek, highlighting God's accomplished work of adoption, redemption, and reconciliation. The practical takeaway is that being filled with the Spirit is not about personal effort but about experiencing and accessing what God has already freely given.
