[2873.74 --> 2875.90] Maybe you could feel their energy
[2875.90 --> 2878.56] or the forcefulness of their personality.
[2878.98 --> 2882.24] Maybe it was the way they talked within authority or volume.
[2882.76 --> 2886.30] Maybe they got just a bit too close within your comfort zone.
[2886.68 --> 2889.66] How did you respond in that moment to that person?
[2889.66 --> 2893.58] I know that as an introvert, maybe a bit of a quieter type,
[2893.90 --> 2896.24] I would likely feel or have felt intimidated.
[2896.86 --> 2898.40] I might emotionally recoil.
[2898.90 --> 2900.94] I might physically step back a bit.
[2901.52 --> 2903.20] Maybe suggest a breath mint for them.
[2904.08 --> 2905.78] I don't know how you respond.
[2906.18 --> 2908.84] But in this text, we are brought face to face
[2908.84 --> 2911.08] with the intensity of God
[2911.08 --> 2915.22] and the radicalness of the life that He intends
[2915.22 --> 2918.24] for each one of us through His Holy Spirit.
[2918.24 --> 2921.66] And this text is not just for a few,
[2921.84 --> 2925.08] for the devoted few, for the spiritual elite.
[2925.28 --> 2927.56] This is what God has for each one of us.
[2927.62 --> 2928.40] This is accessible.
[2928.82 --> 2931.88] This is possible for you and I through the Holy Spirit.
[2932.60 --> 2934.34] So let's dive into this text.
[2935.18 --> 2937.58] While the passage here in the English
[2937.58 --> 2939.66] has multiple sentences,
[2940.28 --> 2945.06] it's actually one long loaded sentence in the Greek.
[2945.06 --> 2948.30] It's kind of classic Paul with his phrase stacking.
[2949.06 --> 2951.82] All the English majors would be horrified at his grammar
[2951.82 --> 2953.14] with all the run-on sentences.
[2954.10 --> 2955.84] But the reality is that he's so moved
[2955.84 --> 2957.56] and in passion and consumed
[2957.56 --> 2959.72] that his heart just kind of bursts
[2959.72 --> 2963.38] and just kind of can't just like let grammar hold him back
[2963.38 --> 2964.48] or just keep him down.
[2964.78 --> 2964.86] Right?
[2964.90 --> 2965.58] He just wants to be free.
[2965.80 --> 2967.26] Kind of color outside the lines.
[2967.26 --> 2970.36] And this text is really structured around
[2970.36 --> 2972.84] four key words or ideas.
[2973.16 --> 2973.28] Okay?
[2973.74 --> 2977.62] Power, trust, love, fullness.
[2978.14 --> 2978.40] Okay?
[2978.78 --> 2982.00] And they build off each other with three so-thats.
[2982.34 --> 2984.10] Power, so-that, trust.
[2984.60 --> 2986.12] Power, so-that, love.
[2986.44 --> 2987.62] Love, so-that, fullness.
[2987.62 --> 2991.80] And together they really create this composite picture
[2991.80 --> 2994.46] of normal life within the kingdom of God.
[2995.40 --> 2996.90] So really it's not always wise to do this
[2996.90 --> 2999.60] but to really summarize the sermon in one sentence.
[2999.74 --> 3000.54] It is a mouthful.
[3001.30 --> 3003.70] But really Paul is praying for the Holy Spirit
[3003.70 --> 3005.96] to supernaturally strengthen them
[3005.96 --> 3009.68] so that they can let Christ live in them through trust
[3009.68 --> 3012.68] and they can experience tangibly the love of God
[3012.68 --> 3016.74] and let their life overflow with the presence of the Holy Spirit.
[3017.54 --> 3017.72] Okay?
[3018.20 --> 3018.74] Got that?
[3019.02 --> 3019.28] Great.
[3020.12 --> 3022.24] Let's begin with the first word or idea.
[3022.88 --> 3023.24] Power.
[3024.36 --> 3027.06] Now I've noticed that we in the Western Church
[3027.06 --> 3030.00] don't talk much about spiritual power
[3030.00 --> 3032.16] and its place in the Christian life.
[3033.10 --> 3036.04] What I've noticed is that my friends in Uganda and Nicaragua
[3036.04 --> 3038.26] talk a lot about power and our need for it.
[3038.96 --> 3041.28] I wonder if it's because we in the Western Church
[3041.28 --> 3043.20] are pretty self-sufficient.
[3043.36 --> 3045.94] We see ourselves as quite capable people.
[3046.90 --> 3050.58] Perhaps it's because we've seen Christian leaders and writers
[3050.58 --> 3053.62] abuse power and position
[3053.62 --> 3056.86] and just leave kind of damaged people's lives
[3056.86 --> 3059.34] and faiths and trust behind them.
[3059.70 --> 3061.60] And so perhaps the topic, even the word of power
[3061.60 --> 3064.58] might make us feel a bit squirmish or nervous.
[3065.40 --> 3068.38] But the reality is the Bible has a lot to say
[3068.38 --> 3071.40] about God's power in the life of believers.
[3072.04 --> 3074.32] So I want to encourage us maybe to name
[3074.32 --> 3075.62] that we might have those reservations,
[3076.30 --> 3079.46] but to not let unholy abuse of power
[3079.46 --> 3082.06] close off from catching a biblical vision
[3082.06 --> 3086.22] for holy power in service and in godliness.
[3087.28 --> 3087.46] Okay?
[3087.88 --> 3090.58] One commentator points out that the Holy Spirit
[3090.58 --> 3095.04] and power are practically inseparable in Scripture.
[3095.04 --> 3096.28] They go together.
[3097.10 --> 3099.20] And the Holy Spirit really is, in a sense,
[3099.48 --> 3103.04] God's personal power and presence in our lives.
[3103.58 --> 3103.82] Okay?
[3104.04 --> 3104.96] The Holy Spirit, power.
[3105.10 --> 3105.94] Go together.
[3106.08 --> 3106.50] Inseparable.
[3107.54 --> 3110.18] The reality is, if I had to say it in one sentence,
[3110.46 --> 3113.04] we need the holy power of the Holy Spirit
[3113.04 --> 3114.30] to live a holy life.
[3115.60 --> 3115.84] Amen?
[3116.20 --> 3118.72] We need the Holy Spirit to have holy power
[3118.72 --> 3119.62] and to live a holy life.
[3119.62 --> 3121.28] I mean, if you have your Bibles,
[3121.60 --> 3122.38] open your Bibles.
[3122.88 --> 3124.10] Here's a quick pop quiz.
[3124.46 --> 3126.98] How many times does the word show up in this passage?
