Ever feel a restlessness that no pleasure can satisfy?

This past Sunday at Myrtle House Community Church, Martin O'Brien continued our series “Don't Rely on the Naked Eye”, exploring what it truly means to live a Spirit-led life. If we aren't relying on what we can see with our natural eyes, then we must learn to rely on the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our perfect example — from His birth to His resurrection, every moment of His life was shaped, empowered, and guided by the Holy Spirit. Born of the Spirit In Luke 1:35, we see that Jesus was conceived through the Holy Spirit — His very identity was formed by the Spirit's power. When we give our lives to Jesus, something similar happens within us. It's a divine moment where we are born again, stepping into a new life through the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. John 3:5-6 reminds us, “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” Just as Jesus was born of the Spirit, so are we when we surrender our lives to Him. Empowered by the Spirit When Jesus was baptised (Luke 3:21-22), the Holy Spirit descended on Him, marking the beginning of His ministry. That same Spirit now lives in us, empowering us to live courageously, to serve, to speak truth, and to overcome temptation. The Holy Spirit reveals our true identity — that we are sons and daughters of God. Through Him, we find confidence and strength to live as God intended. Led by the Spirit Luke 4:1 tells us that Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Even in times of testing, He was guided by the Spirit and relied completely on the Father's will. In John 5:19, Jesus said, “The Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing.” This is what it means to live in step with the Holy Spirit — to follow God's lead instead of acting independently. Romans 8:14 assures us, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” When we let the Holy Spirit lead, we walk in our true identity as God's children. How Do We Live a Spirit-Filled Life? Martin shared three practical ways we can stay in step with the Holy Spirit: Daily Surrender – Begin each day inviting the Holy Spirit to lead you. Lean in close, listen, and allow Him to guide your heart. Scripture and Prayer – Let God's Word tune your spirit to hear His voice above all others. Ask, “Holy Spirit, speak to me,” each time you read. Community – Surround yourself with Spirit-filled believers who will encourage, challenge, and walk with you. Galatians 5:25 reminds us, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Are you living in your own strength, or are you walking in the power of the Holy Spirit? Each day is an invitation to surrender afresh, to be filled, and to follow His lead. Let's be a people who don't rely on the naked eye, but instead live Spirit-filled, Spirit-led lives — shining the light of Jesus wherever we go.

What is The Spirit Filled Life? Ephesians 5:15-21

Pastor Colt spoke this past Sunday that we are in the midst of an awakening in our nation. Those who were sleeping are waking up! Colt spoke on the importance of the Spirit-filled life as described in Ephesians 5:1-20. He reminded us that a Spirit-filled life looks like the life that Jesus lived, and as we imitate Jesus we walk in the light and expose the darkness. Walking in the will of God happens when we are anchored in the Word of God. The same Spirit who fills us is the one who breathed these words, and He still speaks through them.  When we open Scripture, we are not just reading, we are being shaped. This is how we stay awake in the midst of evil days, discern His will, and allow the light of Christ to shine through us and witness to those entrapped in the darkness.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Colt.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️  https://www.lifecenternyc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/  

What does true gentleness look like — not as weakness, but as strength under control? In this week's Cultivate series message, Pastor Tim Ghali, Interim Teaching & Discipleship Pastor, unpacks the story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman (John 4:1–26) to show how God's Spirit cultivates gentleness in us — especially in a world that rewards power, pride, and harshness. Jesus' gentle engagement with the woman at the well shows us how gentleness restores dignity, opens doors to transformation, and reflects the heart of God to those around us. Key Themes: Gentleness as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) How Jesus models strength through compassion Restoring others through Spirit-led humility Living gently in a harsh and hurried world

Love doesn't always die with drama; sometimes it just drifts into autopilot. How can the Spirit make love real again when the heart no longer feels what it knows is true?

What a day! Listen to the podcast intro for the full story. I revisit our first episode from August 2019 to show how this podcast began and how God has kept me steadfast despite cultural shifts. My original assessments about major cities and their ongoing turmoil still hold true. I changed the byline from "equilibrium" to "peace" to clearly reflect the spiritual goal of equipping you to stand firm in a chaotic world. I'm also launching "Coffee Fueled Wisdom," a new channel to foster community online and through local gatherings, starting in Nashville and potentially expanding globally if God wills it.

FPC's Associate Pastor, Rev. Dean Franklin, preaches on Ephesians about a spirit filled life.

✨ In this episode, we look at the lives of four men—Chuck Swindoll Jr., Frank Schaeffer, Joshua Harris, and Bart Campolo—sons of prominent Christian leaders who each walked away from the faith of their fathers. Paired with the biblical example of Demas, their stories highlight a crucial truth: God has no grandchildren. Salvation requires personal conviction and new birth in Christ.

“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming…” (James 5:7) In this message, we explore what it means to live a Spirit-filled life marked by patience. Unlike love, joy, and peace—which feel refreshing and desirable—patience is often harder to embrace because it means waiting, enduring, and long-suffering. Drawing from James 5, the story of Waiting for Godot, and practical spiritual practices, we discover that patience is not passive but an active partnership with God. Patience teaches us to embrace suffering, resist distraction, and experience God's presence with us in the waiting. This sermon is part of our Cultivate series: The Fruit of a Spirit-Filled Life at Grace Chapel.

Fruit of the Spirit: How to Abide in Christ and Live Spirit-FilledSo many of us try to “be better Christians” by sheer willpower—but the Bible teaches a better way.
