True transformation silences the noise of our own willpower. Ephesians 5 reveals the dramatic shift from being enslaved by lust to being alive in God. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller explores what it means to be under the Spirit's influence. See why staying in the Spirit is like a fighter jet tethered to a mid-air tanker.

This is part three of the sermon, “Children Of Light.”
