In the final message of our series, Andrew explored Being Continually Filled by the Spirit, drawing on Ephesians 5:18 to contrast the destructive influence of intoxication with the clarity and joy found in the Spirit. He noted that the original Greek grammar implies an ongoing, daily filling rather than a single event.  To explain why many feel "half full" or "frazzled", Andrew used the metaphor of a glass cluttered with dirty rocks and sludge, representing the "old sinful self" and stuck sin patterns that obstruct God’s flow. He encouraged the church to identify early warning signs—such as worry or impatience—and to distinguish between a condemning "inner critic" and the Spirit’s life-giving conviction. Andrew concluded by urging the congregation to aim for small, "5 or 10 per cent" shifts in awareness, inviting them to relax into God's presence and renew their identity in Christ.

Ephesians 5:18; Colossians 3:1–10; Psalm 139; Romans 12:2; Romans 7–8; John 1:12.

This message was prerecorded as we had our church camp over this weekend.
