About this listen
Ephesians 5:15-21
Six million Canadians (roughly 20% of the adult population) binge drink at least once a month and meet the clinical criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder in their lifetime. Many Canadians turn to alcohol to self-medicate and be uninhibited, others turn to different vices. Christians are called to forsake these idols and “be filled with the Spirit”. It might strike us as odd that our text tells us not to get drunk on wine but be filled with the Spirit. The pairing doesn’t make senses unless there’s a similarity between them, yet the warning and command don’t make sense unless there’s a major distinction between them as well. This sermon explores what it means to be filled with the Spirit and the wisdom, submission, joy, and thankfulness that come from being filled with the Spirit.
