New Wine, New Wineskins

Pastor Steven Shelley explores Jesus’s parable of new wine and old wineskins from Mark 2:22, using ancient winemaking processes to illustrate spiritual transformation. The message challenges believers to examine their spiritual flexibility, warning against religious rigidity that prevents receiving God’s new wine. Through detailed explanations of fermentation and vessel preparation, Shelley demonstrates how believers must remain yielded and stretchable to accommodate the Holy Spirit’s dynamic work, avoiding the spiritual complacency that causes old wineskins to burst under divine pressure.
