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
The Bible offers certain symbols that reveal various dimensions of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Together they affirm that he is the breath of life from God, who comes to cleanse, renew, and purify those upon whom he rests because of their union with Christ.
The Holy Spirit is not a power, force, or emanation of God, but a divine person, co-equal to the Father and the Son. The goal for the Christian, therefore, must never be to treat him like a thing to know about and use, but as a person to draw close to in relationship. Wherever God is, so is his Spirit. And whenever the Spirit it present, nothing less than the fullness of God is present.
