The Holy Spirit - Week 7
Feb 26, 2020Tap to summarizeOn some occasions, God simply heals by a sovereign act of His will unrelated to anything in us (see John 5:1-9 re: the healing at the pool on the Sabbath). However, in the vast majority of cases, Jesus healed people because of someone’s faith.

The Holy Spirit - Week 4
Feb 2, 2020Tap to summarizeJohn Calvin argues that Jesus’ gifts for his people are not experienced by so many of them. That enjoyment, he says, can happen only through “communion with Christ” and “the secret energy of the Holy Spirit, by which we come to enjoy all his benefits.” - Timothy J Keller, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God, Dutton | NY 2014, pg 165 When we come to believe the Gospel, God Himself dwells in us, energizing our souls, illumining His truth to our minds, infusing power in our wills and working His sovereign and gracious purposes through us. Join us as we take a look at what the Bible has to say about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

The Holy Spirit - Week 2
Jan 13, 2020Tap to summarizeOne of the ways we quench the Spirit (and there are many!) is whenever we diminish his personal nature and speak of him as if he were only an abstract power or a source of divine energy. There are times when the precious Spirit of God is treated as if he were no more than an ethereal energy, the divine equivalent to an electric current: stick your finger of faith into the socket of his “anointing presence” and you’ll experience a spiritual shock.But consider how the New Testament consistently describes the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is portrayed as having all the qualities of a personal being.

The Holy Spirit - Week 1
Jan 13, 2020Tap to summarizeIf you are a follower of Jesus, a Christian, the choice is now yours to subject yourself to the Spirit’s leading or not, to “receive” the Spirit or not, just as Jesus chose to do.Jesus chose to subject himself to the guiding influence of the Spirit throughout his life and thus lived powerfully and triumphantly, so his followers must do as he did if they would experience the same power and triumph in their own personal experiences.

Advent 2019 - Week 2
Dec 9, 2019Tap to summarizePatience is essentially Christian. God’s people had to wait with patience for Advent, and after Advent, and Easter were through, God’s people have to wait with patience again. Here in 2 Peter 3:8-15, the apostle teaches us more about the patience that comes from the work of Jesus on our behalf.
