Stresses, anxieties, and temptations can leave you feeling depressed and exhausted. But in this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie offers a timely reminder that you don’t have to live life in your own strength—you can be filled with the Holy Spirit! Get biblical insight from Pastor Greg’s newest message from Romans 8 in his series, Refresh: What Every Christian Needs to Know.

Notes

There is no condemnation for our past.

There is no separation from God’s love in the future.

God is not mad at you; He is mad about you.

All things in the present are working together for good. 

The Holy Spirit wants to lead you, empower you, and fill you every day.

To be filled with the Spirit means to be controlled by the Spirit.

1. A Spirit-led believer lives a condemnation-free life.

2. The best way to not go backward is to go forward in the Spirit.

This is not “works-righteousness” but rather a “working righteousness.”

3. Spirit-led people are spiritually minded people.

Those led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). 

God removes the fear of rejection and assures us that we are God’s children (Romans 8:15–16). 

The Spirit gives us confidence to approach God in prayer (Romans 8:26–27).  

We are adopted, loved and welcomed by God! 

Attempting to be righteous by trying harder is also living in the flesh.

4. The Holy Spirit is at home in the hearts of Spirit-led believers. 

5. Spirit-led believers overcome the old life. 

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14).
