Driven by the Spirit | Colby F. Maier | Bloom Church

In this sermon based on Acts 20:17-38, we explore Paul's farewell address to the elders of the church in Ephesus. Paul's life was characterized by being compelled by the Spirit, willingly embracing hardships and uncertainties in obedience to God's call. This challenges us to examine our own commitment to following the Holy Spirit's leading, even when it leads us through difficult paths. Paul also emphasizes the importance of living with integrity, boldly speaking the truth in love and standing firm against falsehoods and distortions. Ultimately, Paul's message points us to rely on the transformative power of God's grace, which strengthens us and guides us in our Christian journey no matter the darkness of our current season.

Love this sermon!! My life actually became more challenging when committed to I following the direction of the Holy Spirit, but I was given everything I needed to endure and persevere. And wow, what a discussion we all could have about God’s sovereignty over our lives verses our free will. Lately I have pictured God at a computer (He doesn’t really need) constantly recalculating my path accommodating for every mistake I made with decisions that opposed His will for me. But then, did He know in advance that I would make wrong choices since He is sovereign and has dictated our lives in advance? Wow! It makes my head spin! Such a mystery!

Amen!! As followers of Christ we should be sold out to Jesus such that when suffering comes; we consider it a joy as it produces spiritual maturity! ❤💯

The actions line up with the words opened love one’s eyes in one’s life. Watch what one says. It will be watched for life’s actions if alignments.
