Today we will look at the gifts of exhortation, giving, and mercy. MP3 download.

On August 3rd, I didn’t quite complete my lesson and I mentioned that I would post the final points to the blog. Well, better late than never! Credit to Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology for the bulk of this lesson.
The Holy Spirit Unifies
When the Spirit was poured out on the church at Pentecost, Peter proclaimed that the prophecy of Joel 2:28-32 was fulfilled (see Acts 2:16-18)
The emphasis is not on the Spirit being poured out on specially anointed leaders (like Moses or Joshua in the OT) but the Spirit was poured out on the entire community of believers (sons and daughters, young and old, masters and servants)
The community of believers was marked by unprecedented unity (Acts 2:44-47)
Several times in the NT, …

Today we will look at the gifting of evangelists, pastors, and teachers. MP3 download.

Last week we began a short series on the Work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the member of the Trinity whom the Scripture most often represents as being present to do God’s work in the world. We categorized His work in four ways: 1) empowers, 2) purifies, 3) reveals, and 4) unifies. This wee we continue by looking at the ways in which the Holy Spirit purifies, reveals, and unifies.

Who Am I?
On Sunday, we did a “Theatre of the Mind” where I asked the above question and gave a list of ten characteristics. Here’s the list:
I cause thoughts in your mind that influence you to do things you wouldn’t normally think you should do.
I influence others to treat you in ways you might find offensive.
I put obstacles in your way and prevent you from doing what you think GOD wants you to do.
I infiltrate even the church and cause Christians to act in abnormal ways.
I’m often caricatured and associated with the likeness of a wild animal.
My power is underestimated—often by ignorant Christians.
I cause you to doubt yourself and those you love.
I roam to and fro across the earth seeking …

Have you ever wondered “Who is the Holy Spirit?”, “What does the Holy Spirit do?”, or “How does the Holy Spirit work in the life of a believer?” The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is easily one of the most controversial, disagreed-about, avoided, feared, confused, and neglected subjects in the Bible. Pastor Dan has been teaching on the marks of a God-owned church (Knowing Who You Are) and how God equips his church to carry out his mission (Knowing How You Function). For the next two weeks, we are going to take a slight detour and explore the theological foundation to his teaching by focusing on the Biblical description of the Holy Spirit. MP3 download.

Have you ever wondered why most spiritual people would never refer to themselves as “Apostles?” How about “Prophet?” Well, both terms represent people who followed Christ and yet we don’t often use these terms. Why? Well, in our study today we will see how these terms relate to how a ChurchWorks (pun intended). MP3 download.

How do the miracles in the Old Testament relate to the Spirit of God working in the Church today? How can we better discern the true expressions of the Spirit of God from the fake behaviors that some claim to be from the “Spirit.” Today we will continue to answer these types of questions and set the stage for our examination of the specific function of the Apostles as well as the general working of the Holy Spirit.
