Jesus taught that the difference between who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven and who will not boils down to who does his Father’s will. At the center of the Father’s will is to rightly acknowledge and honor Christ as Lord, but it has to be more than mere lip service. It must be backed up with the concrete actions of repentance and faith.

True Holy Spirit spirituality does not result in states of ecstasy or detachment, nor any form of disembodied individualism. The work of the Spirit in the Christian life is to incorporate embodied persons together under the Lordship of Christ. This is expressed and manifested through a variety of gifts, services, and energies.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: God the Spirit Scripture: I Corinthians 12:1-13
The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost changed the calculus forever. It was a watershed moment in the history of humanity, redefining the way that God and man relate to one another. It opened up all the possibilities of heaven: life greater than death, real transformation and power for godliness, and the intimacy and care of a filial relationship with God.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: God the Spirit Scripture: John 14:15-20
The Holy Spirit is a divine person who speaks and has something to say. The primary means by which the church can hear his voice are the scriptures and prayer. Reading the Bible and praying are not disciplines we add to the spiritual life. They themselves are the spiritual life.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: God the Spirit Scripture: Ephesians 6:17-18
The supernatural phenomena of Pentecost wind, fire, and speech in Acts 2 are all about the fullness of God’s presence and power available to the church through the person of the Holy Spirit. All of God, in all of us, for all the world.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: God the Spirit Scripture: Acts 2:1-12
