What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?

This is the eleventh week of our fall sermon series entitled “Perspectives from Prison: The Letter to the Ephesians.” In this series we are walking through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians that he wrote while under house arrest in Rome. This week we look at the middle section of chapter 5. In this section of the letter, Paul compares and contrasts being filled with alcohol and being filled with the Spirit. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What is a passive imperative command? And how is being filled with the Spirit different than baptism in the Spirit? Let’s watch and learn what it means to obey the command to be filled with the Spirit.
