Sermon summary: As we conclude this series on summarizing the Christian life as it pertains to growth in discipleship, we look at the One Person who brings it from theory to reality – the Holy Spirit. The Christian life is centered on God as He is as the Son. We will see in this message how the Christian life depends on God as He is as the Holy Spirit. The Spirit’s ministry of filling believers for life and ministry will provide the key focus of this message. We will propose that unless the Christian is repeatedly Spirit-filled, they cannot enjoy the stronger Christian life.

2. Walking out the Christian life requires the Spirit’s Filling - Ephesians 4:1-5:16.
