Romans 14:17 | There seems to be a connection in scripture between the work of the Holy Spirit and the joy of the believer. Followers of Jesus are to be a people marked by a prevailing joy. The Holy Spirit is working for our joy in the Lord. We need to understand the connection between the Holy Spirit and our joy in Christ. Let's look at this together.
1 Corinthians 12:1–13:13 | The Spirit is always working for the greater good of the body of Christ. He gifts every person who is in Christ with gifts that we are to use to build up the body of Christ. What are the gifts the Spirit has given you? How do you know? How does God want those gifts exercised? What is at stake whether we do or don't exercise the gifts from the Spirit?
Ephesians 5:15-21 | In the Bible we see people described as being filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5 lays out a command for us to be filled with the Spirit. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What does a life full of the Spirit look like? How might we hinder the fullness of the Spirit in our lives?
Galatians 5:16-26 | In Galatians 5 we see Paul advocating for believers to walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh. This was during a time when they were being taught that walking by the flesh is your way to salvation. God has provided a way of justification through faith that should lead to an overflow of walking by the Spirit. He also presents a warning to abstain from the flesh. Walking by the Spirit and not by the flesh will produce the best results in our life.
John 14:15–31 | Last week we established the truth that the Holy Spirit is fully God as the third person of the Trinity. This week we turn to this awesome reality that this Holy Spirit dwells in us as followers of Jesus. We need to know that, and we need to know the ministry the Holy Spirit is actively working as he dwells in us. This is where we turn our attention this week.
John 16:5–15 | We all want to walk deeply with the Spirit. We want to live a Spirit-filled life. We want to know the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. We begin a series seeking to understand the Holy Spirit and what life in the Spirit looks like. Before we can understand what life in the Spirit looks like we must understand who the Holy Spirit is. This is where we focus to kick off our series.
