08:58 – The people of God must see themselves as and live like the people of God.
09:43 – Being the people of God requires renewed thoughts and attitudes.
14:19 – Being filled with the Holy Spirit is a result of the continual and ongoing life of the people of God united together.
16:58 – A Spirit-filled community requires Spirit-filled individuals living out Jesus’ love with each other.
17:35 – The filling of the Holy Spirit isn’t just for you… it’s for US.
18:35 – The 3 virtues of a Spirit-filled community:
1. Commitment
