Staying Full | FILLED Series (Week 2)

We're on day 14 of our 21 Days of Prayer at Living Free Church, and this message couldn't come at a better time.

You know that feeling when you have an incredible encounter with God—maybe in worship, maybe during prayer—and you feel so full, so alive, so connected? And then a few days later, you're running on spiritual fumes wondering where He went?

That's what this message is all about.

Pastor Ty unpacks Ephesians 5:18 and the often-overlooked truth that being "filled with the Spirit" isn't a one-time event—it's a continual posture. It's not about having one powerful experience and coasting on that for the rest of your life. It's about learning to stay full.

We explore:

• Why the grammar of Ephesians 5:18 changes everything
• The four things that cause us to leak spiritually (and how to identify them in your own life)
• What actually fills us and keeps us connected to the Source
• How to build sustainable rhythms of presence that outlast the 21 days

If you've ever felt close to God on Sunday but empty by Wednesday, this episode is for you.

About This Series: "FILLED: Living in the Presence of God" is our January 2026 sermon series exploring what it means to not just experience God's presence once, but to sustain a life marked by His continual filling.

Key Scripture: Ephesians 5:18 - "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit."

The Big Idea: Being filled with the Spirit is a lifestyle, not an event. You can't stay full on yesterday's encounter. This is about building rhythms that sustain you long after the mountaintop moments fade.
