Are You Spirit-Filled or Self-Filled

Derek Mack • April 14, 2025 •

Derek Mack teaches from Ephesians 5:3–21, challenging us to ask: Who or what is influencing your life? Derek explains that everyone is being shaped by something—we’re natural imitators—so we might as well choose to imitate God. He breaks down Paul’s call to walk in love and purity, emphasizing why sexual purity matters, especially for Christians. Derek walks through Paul’s three steps to living in love and how they apply to us. Derek also explains what it means to be filled with the Spirit, noting that it’s both something God does to us and a command we actively participate in. He gives Paul’s three litmus test indicators for being Spirit-filled and teaches how we can pursue more of the Spirit in our daily lives. The message ends with an encouragement to boldly ask for more of the Holy Spirit, because He alone is the one who brings real transformation and breakthrough.
