The Spirit According to The Word

There is so much confusion and controversy about the Holy Spirit. Who is He? What does He do? How does He do it? Let's set aside everything we have heard, and everything we think we know. Then let's see what the Spirit says about Himself in the Scriptures.

Summary and Review of the Holy Spirit as seen in the Word

In this final episode about the Holy Spirit, I wanted to come back and give a brief summary and review of what the Holy Spirit says about Himself in the Scriptures. I'm hoping that this will be helpful in coming to a cohesive understanding of what the Bible has to say about the Spirit. You may want to go back and listen to an episode or two to dive deeper into one of the topics that are touched on in order to answer any questions and help pull it all together in your mind. As always, I welcome any questions, criticism, or correction.

Spirit vs. Flesh

In the final episode of our comprehensive study of the Holy Spirit, we look at the beginning of Romans eight and consider it together with parallel passages. These texts are the source of a good bit of confusion about the Holy Spirit. Join us as we see how they fit together, and how they fit in with everything else that the Spirit says about Himself in the written Word.

The Spirit and Intercession

As we continue studying what the Spirit says about Himself and prayer, we dive into a rather difficult set of passages. The bulk of our time is spent this week in Romans chapter eight. Who is it that intercedes for us when we pray? How is this done? How does this relate to the Holy Spirit?

The Spirit and Prayer

One topic concerning the Holy Spirit over which there is much confusion, but much less Scripture, is His relationship and involvement in our prayers.

The Baptism, The Gift, and The Promise of The Spirit

The concept of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the promise of the Holy Spirit are probably central to more confusion and disagreement concerning the Holy Spirit than every other topic combined. So what does HE have to say about it in the Scriptures? This week we explore every passage in the New Testament that speaks about these three things. In the process, we will see how they are related, who they are for, and what this means for us today.

The Seal, The Earnest, and The Anointing of the Spirit

This week, we take a look at every Scripture that mentions the seal, earnest, or anointing of the Spirit. It's not as many as you might think, but it is certainly a challenging study in more ways than one. Be prepared to have your thinking challenged as we see what the Spirit says about Himself.

The Spirit Speaks with Authority

The words of the Holy Spirit aren't written down for fun trivia. They are written down because we need to be paying attention to them and living them out! This week we examine passages in the New Testament that speak about the authority of the Spirit, and the fact that He can be lied to, quenched and resisted. How do you do those things? Or rather, how do you not do them? Join us as we look for answers to these questions.
