Final Points—The Work of the Holy Spirit

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford

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, …

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 7

Sunday, July 27th, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford

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.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 6

Sunday, July 20th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

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.

graceTALK, December 2004

Sunday, December 26th, 2004 : By Leadership Team

The Leadership Team answers your questions.

Q1 (2:23): How does the leadership of Grace Fellowship view Sabbath requirements regarding work and rest? Some of these questions might stretch us.

Q2 (12:20): In the series Making Fruitfullness a Priority, Dan taught that remaining in Christ means to continue in His teaching. Does that mean that all Christians will believe the same thing? Where is there the balance to have different views but still be considered to remain in Christ’s teaching? Also we are told that when the Holy Spirit comes He will guide us into all truth. What does this mean? Does it relate to remaining in Christ?

Q3 (31:58): What are …

graceTALK, September 2004

Sunday, September 5th, 2004 : By Leadership Team

The Leadership Team answers your questions.

Q1 (2:07): Can you please explain what openness theology is? I heard people discussing it a couple of weeks ago, but was not in the service to hear the teaching.

Q2 (17:45): Who was it that Jacob wrestled with in Genesis 32? Was it an angel or God? Since Jacob was wrestling with God, would this simply have been an angel? Since the angel was from God, would it be like an analogy to Jacob’s overall life up until this point?

Q3 (27:39): I am struggling with developing consistency in my witness at work. I often feel unconfident and frankly embarressed to share my faith. …
