In this message, Benj unpacks what life in the Spirit looks like. We start by exploring how the Holy Spirit is both God and a person, present from creation (Genesis 1:2, John 14:16 –17) and still at work today. The Spirit is God’s very breath, the one who brings life, fills the church, and empowers believers to live for Jesus.

Looking at Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:1–4, Benj shows how the Spirit baptises and immerses us in God’s life, causing us to overflow with boldness, witness, freedom, and power — the same power that raised Christ from the dead (Ephesians 1:17 –20). Life in the Spirit means transformation into Christ’s likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18 ), Scripture coming alive (2 Timothy 3:16 ), growing love for the lost (Romans 5:5), and unity in the church.

Using Ezekiel’s visions of dry bones (Ezekiel 37) and the river from the temple bringing life wherever it flows (Ezekiel 47:1–12), Benj paints a picture of the Spirit reviving God’s people and making the church a source of life and fruitfulness for the world. He closes with Jesus’ promise in John 7:37 –39: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink… rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

The invitation is simple: to be thirsty, to ask, and to receive afresh. Life in the Spirit is not about settling for a spark but allowing God’s Spirit to fill, overflow, and bring His life to us and through us.
