1. Strengthened With His Power

2. Filled With His Fullness

3. Beyond All by His Power

Today's sermon explored our human tendency to always want "more" and how only God can truly fill the void within us. Drawing from Ephesians 3:13-21, we examined how our culture constantly tells us that happiness comes from having more things, being more successful, or achieving more status. Yet as Solomon discovered, and as Eddie Murphy confessed, even those who gain everything the world offers still feel something is missing. The good news is that we were created with a God-shaped void that only He can fill. Through Christ's sacrifice, we can experience the strengthening power of the Holy Spirit, the fullness of God's love, and His ability to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we could ask or imagine.

Takeaways:

- We are strengthened by His power within us - The Holy Spirit living in us is God's seal and guarantee, giving us power to live for Him, to stand when we fall, and to keep moving forward even in hardship and defeat.

- We can comprehend the breadth, length, height, and depth of God's love - His love is wider than we can imagine, longer than time itself, deeper than the cross, and higher than the heavens where He prepares a place for us.

- God is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all we ask or think - When we make the Lord our Shepherd and find our contentment in Him first, He unlocks the gates of prayer and enables us to move in His attributes, sharing with others what He has done for us.

This week, be encouraged to pause when you feel that longing for "more" and ask yourself: Am I seeking fulfillment in things that can never satisfy, or am I drawing closer to the One who fills every void?
