The Spirit Filled Family Part 2 | Lord’s Day Sermon | 6th October, 2024 | Pastor Adeola Ogundele

Pastor Adeola continues The Spirit Filled Family series in this sermon. He beams his light on the innate and visible evidences of a life that's been filled with the Spirit of God. Individuals make up families and Spirit Filled individuals make up Spirit Filled families.

Jesus spoke many times about selflessness and dying to self as inevitable markers of a person who desires to live by the Spirit. In the fellowship of believers, we're required to put aside our own desires and esteem the good of others above our own. This is the life that Jesus lived, it was the very driving force behind His coming in the flesh to die for our sins and this is an example we can't toss aside and still profess to be his children.

Selfishness is the sinful opposite. The heart that seeks its own good first is not one that is living a Spirit Filled life and this permeates the fabric of christian fellowship to poisonous effect. And indeed, loving others does bring us an enjoyment of love ourselves as we enjoy the unfettered delight of God's love. 

As you listen, may God's love dwell richly in your heart as you learn to give of yourself to the good of others that the blessing of the Lord may rest upon you and your family.
