Pastor Mike Burnett teaches that all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons and daughters of God, drawing from Romans 8:14 and Galatians 5 to show that the Spirit's indwelling is both a promise and a transforming reality. He traces the Holy Spirit's activity from creation through the life of Christ to the present day, arguing that the Spirit is not an optional add-on but the defining mark of genuine Christian identity. The message calls believers to surrender to the Spirit's leadership so that the fruit of his presence, joy, peace, and love, becomes evident in every area of life.

Unlock with your sermon →According to this sermon, being led by the Holy Spirit is the normal Christian life. Romans 8:14 says all who are led by the Spirit are sons of God. When you say yes to Jesus, the Holy Spirit dwells in you, teaches you, convicts you, and directs your daily life, at work, at home, everywhere.
This sermon teaches that the Holy Spirit dwells only in those who have placed faith in Jesus Christ. Non-Christians cannot receive Him. Evidence of the Spirit's presence shows up as fruit in your life, joy, peace, and godly character, because the Spirit actively leads, convicts, and transforms those who belong to God.
This sermon teaches that tithing is an act of worship and a confession of trust in God over financial circumstances. The pastor shared testimonies of people who gave generously during hardship and experienced unexpected provision, arguing that obedience to God in giving demonstrates faith that God will meet your needs.
