Wayne Grudem - Being Filled with the Holy Spirit

I remember having a conversation with a friend one time when he had just gotten an Ipod. I was telling him about the different sites to download some great sermons. He looked at me funny and said, "No offense but I am not going to listen to sermons on my Ipod." I was kind of blown away at his bluntness and honesty, and yet I appreciated it. It just didn't occur to me that some people who love Jesus wouldn't wanted to listen to sermons on their Ipod. Isn't it a given that alongside U2 and Coldplay and the Backstreet Boys, there should be Piper, Keller, and MacArthur. But, I don't take that for granted anymore. I have been enlightened, but I am not any less passionate to get people in the word listening to sermons of all shapes, sizes and colors. You may have never listened to a sermon, wouldn't dare dreaming of listening to a sermon when you didn't have to, but here's hoping you give it a try. Joshua 1:8 says "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." I find when I listen to sermons it challenges me in my thinking, provides great illustrations and life lessons, keeps me sharp and encouraged. It expands my worldview, gets my mind off myself and causes me to love the Word more and the world less. Sermons that are life changing bring light to my eyes, joy to my face and a skip to my step. So, here's hopin' you check out on of these sermons... Today would be a great one.

Dr. Wayne Grudem is amazing. Brilliant enough to write the systematic theology book that is both deep, expansive and practical and read by many. Humble enough to love his wife enough to leave a professor job so she could go to a warmer climate and enjoy better health. Gentle enough that when you listen to him, you sense his sincerity, kindness and that he is the real deal. I listened to his sermon last night and I was so challenged and encouraged and just humbled by his demeanor. He spoke at Piper's church, and he was so kind. He didn't come across like the leading theologian that he is. He is a professor at Phoenix Seminary, so this sermon is probably more teaching than preaching, but I really encourage you to listen to this. It could possibly change your life, especially if you have never really thought about how the Holy Spirit should/would change your daily life. An amazing treastise of the Holy Spirit in its look at how the Spirit should fill our lives. PLEASE, for the sake of all that is good and holy and wonderful, please, listen to this sermon...
