Filled Again: Revitalizing Your Spirit Through God’s Sovereignty

In this sermon by Pastor Kim, we explore the theme of being "Filled Again" with the Holy Spirit as seen in Acts 4:23-31. Emphasizing God’s sovereignty, the message challenges believers to consider whom they will obey, highlighting that we cannot help but speak of what we have seen and heard. The sermon draws a parallel between the need for physical hydration and spiritual rejuvenation, urging Christians to actively seek a deep, experiential relationship with the Holy Spirit. Join us as we discover the importance of continuous filling by the Spirit in our lives.

  2. Acts Series, Week #12 “Filled Again” Acts 4:23-31

  3. “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:19-20)

  4. God works His sovereign will despite what man says or does.

  5. Man proposes; God disposes. (Thomas a Kempis)

  6. Sovereignty means God’s will overrides all circumstances, revealing His goodness in the worst of all agonies, even the death of Christ.

  7. “…All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit…” (Acts 2:4)

  8. As a runner depletes physical energy through the loss of water and needs re-filling, so a Christian who expends spiritual energy needs revitalizing absorption of the Holy Spirit.

  9. What the soul is in our body, the Holy Spirit is in the body of Christ, which is the church. (Augustine)

  10. The New Testament church had minute, intellectual knowledge of the Holy Spirit, but a mighty, experiential knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Conversely, today’s church has a considerable knowledge of the Holy Spirit, but a minuscule experience of the Holy Spirit.

  11. Many are not desperate for the Holy Spirit because they don’t believe they need Him.
