Being filled with the Holy Spirit is a strange topic. Some don't talk about it at all. Others talk about it but give no details on what it means or how to achieve it. I think this message could help you understand what we mean by "Filled with the Spirit" and how to get there. Also, there are balloons and someone gets shocked.

Our youth put together a whole service and it was awesome. This is the message they brought.
Philippians 4: 4-9
Our thoughts are far too often on things of the world - fear, anxieties, hopelessness, negativity. It is time we took control of our own minds.
