Study Guide for Holy Spirit
... CHAPTER 1: Introduction to the Holy Spirit CHAPTER 2: The Deity of the Holy Spirit CHAPTER 3: The Work of the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer CHAPTER 4: The Power of the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer CHAPTER 5: The Conforming Work of the Holy Spirit ...
The Holy Spirit in the World (Holy Spirit Series)
... Regarding the subject of the Holy Spirit, C. H. Spurgeon said, I believe, brethren, that whenever the church of God declines, one of the most effectual ways of reviving her is to preach much truth concerning the Holy Spirit. After all, He is the very breath of the church. Where the Spirit of God is, there is power. If the Spirit be withdrawn, then the vitality of the godliness begins to decline and we are backsliding. Let us turn to the Spirit of God crying, 'Quicken Thou me in Thy way.' If we sorrowfully perceive that any church is ...
The Holy Spirit: Restrainer of Evil (Holy Spirit Series)
... Last week we talked about the work of the Holy Spirit in the world and the convicting of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment in drawing men to Jesus Christ. Tonight we wish to continue the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in the world, as we see Him as the restraining force against evil. The Bible tells us that there is one final, great battle to be fought before Satan is forced to give over the control of the earth to the Lord. And at the present time, Satan is mustering his forces for this final conflict, in which I feel that Satan is deceived into thinkin...
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Part 1) (Holy Spirit Series)
... We are studying the subject of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This will be part one of three parts that we will examine on the subject of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In Luke 3:16, we read concerning John the Baptist that, John answered saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. I...
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Part 2) (Holy Spirit Series)
... I would like to continue tonight in our study on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. First of all, we will look at the promises of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 3:11, John the Baptist said, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. And then Jesus gave the promise of the baptism with the Holy Spirit in ...
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Part 3) (Holy Spirit Series)
... In our lessons on the subject of the Holy Spirit, we have currently been looking at the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Last time we saw that this experience is often referred to as the gift of the Holy Spirit, or the filling of the Holy Spirit, or the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We looked at how this was separate from, and subsequent to, the experience of salvation and being born again by the Spirit and baptized by the Spirit into the body of Christ. This was a subsequent experience that the disciples received sometime after believing and we saw it in the Book of Acts with the disciple...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 1) (Holy Spirit Series)
... Now let us turn in our Bibles to John 14:16, where Jesus, talking to His disciples said, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but you know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:16-17) In this lesson we would like to begin ...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 2) (Holy Spirit Series)
... Let us turn in our Bibles to Acts 1, as we continue on the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. Last week we saw the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer as teaching and instructing us in the things of God and in the Word of God. Tonight we would like to look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer as He empowers us to be witnesses. In Acts 1:4, Jesus was with His disciples and He commanded them not to depart fro...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 3) (Holy Spirit Series)
... We will continue our study on the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. In this lesson we would like to look at the work of the Spirit in conforming us into the image of Jesus Christ. God has placed certain ministries in the church. Paul declares first of all, that there were the apostles, and then some prophets, some evangelists and some pastor/teachers. These are various gifted individuals within the church that God has placed within the body for the purpose of the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry. Paul declared that h...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 4) (Holy Spirit Series)
... In this lesson we will look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, as He helps us in our prayer life and enhances our prayer life. Romans 8:26-27 says, Likewise also the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the w...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 5) (Holy Spirit Series)
... So Paul, in talking to the Ephesians about the many wonderful blessings that they have, begins the chapter by saying, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3) And he is talking now about these wonderful spiritual blessings. He has called us, adopted us, and forgiven our sins. And now he says, In whom ye also trusted, after that ye hea...
The Person of the Holy Spirit (Holy Spirit Series)
... Jesus is about ready to go to the cross to be crucified. He is in the final sessions with His disciples who are deeply disturbed by His words as He speaks about going away. But in John 14 He said, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you....
Third Person of the Trinity (Holy Spirit Series)
... It is the purpose of this series of studies to bring you into a close, intimate, personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. Our study last Thursday night dealt with the person of the Holy Spirit showing that, from the Scriptures, He has all the characteristics of personality and He is referred to with the personal pronouns. Thus He is not an it. He is not an essence. He is not just a force, but He is the person of the Holy Spirit. Tonight we purpose to show to you that He is the third person of the Godhead. Before we get into those Scriptures, I would like to read...
Receiving the Gift of the Spirit (Holy Spirit Series)
... When the day of Pentecost (the feast-holiday of the Jews) had come, the disciples had been waiting in an upper room in Jerusalem. According to the command of Jesus, they had been waiting for the promise of the Father. This was the promise that in the last days God would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Their sons and daughters would prophesy; their young men would see visions; and their old men would dream dreams. And upon God's servants and handmaiden He would pour out His Spirit in those days (cf. Joel 2:28-29). So, the promise...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 18-19 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn now to the eighteenth chapter of Acts as we continue our study through the Bible. At the end of the study last week, the end of chapter seventeen, we found Paul speaking to the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers there on Mars Hills proclaiming to them the glory and the marvels of the unknown God whom they worshipped ignorantly. And we found that again Paul's message left them with sort of divided feelings, some believing, and some remaining with Paul, and others sort of scoffing and going their way. Now after these things, Paul depa...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 19:2
... Intro. We sing, "God in three persons, blessed Trinity." We know the person of Father, and the person of the Son, but so many do not know the person of the Holy Spirit. One of the reasons for this is that the Holy Spirit testifies to us of the Son, and not of Himself. He has come to glorify Jesus. Any true work of the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus and draws attention to Jesus and not to any man. I. PAUL'S QUESTION TO THOSE IN EPHESUS, "HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT SINCE YOU BELILEVED?" OR AS SOME PREF...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 1-2 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to the book of Acts, chapter one, as we begin our study of the early church. Luke, the author of the book of Acts, a companion of Paul the apostle, who was author also of the Gospel According to Luke, wrote these two treatises to a friend, Theophilus. Theophilus is a Greek name. It's a name that has a beautiful meaning. The name means lover of God. There are some who believe that it was not a man at all, but that the gospel and the book of Acts were addressed to the lovers of God, whoever you may be. There are other traditions that say that Theop...
Interpretation of Tongues (Holy Spirit Series)
... We have been looking at the subject of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and as we have pointed out, the Holy Spirit dwells in us, conforming us into the image of Jesus. Everyone who has received Jesus Christ as their Savior has the Holy Spirit indwelling him. As Paul said, What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's...
The Gift of Teaching (Holy Spirit Series)
... In 1 Corinthians 12:28, Paul says, Now God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers. We are looking at the gift of teaching. As Paul was writing to the Ephesians concerning the ministry gifts within the church, again he said, "He gave some apostles; and some, prophets..." Here he adds to the list, "evangelists," before he gets to the pastor-teachers i...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 1:4
... Intro. You might say that the first word of the great commission is not go but wait. You are not to go until you have the power to go. I. "NOT DEPART FROM JERUSALEM, BUT WAIT FOR THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER." A. This not depart from Jerusalem is the same as, "Tarry ye in Jerusalem until you be endued with power from on high." That is found in Luke's gospel. B. The promise of the Father is no doubt a reference to...
Introduction to Spiritual Gifts (Holy Spirit Series)
... Turn to 1 Corinthians 12 where Paul speaks concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Tonight will be, more or less, an introduction to the subject of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Paul begins the twelfth chapter by saying, Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. (1 Corinthians 12:1) You will notice, if you have a King James Bible, that the word gifts is in ital...
The Word of Wisdom (Holy Spirit Series)
... 1 Corinthians 12:7 says, But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. If the Spirit of God is dwelling in your life, it will be manifested in many different ways. We have discussed how having the Holy Spirit in you is distinct and separate from having the Holy Spirit overflow from you. There is that indwelling work of the Holy Spirit, that marvelous indwelling work of the Holy Spirit, which is purely subjunctive. It is that blessed work within...
The Word of Knowledge (Holy Spirit Series)
... We would like to continue our study on the subject of the Holy Spirit. Presently we are dealing with the manifestations of the Holy Spirit as they are recorded in the first section in 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul gives us a partial listing. We will go over to Romans and Ephesians to look at further listings of the gifts of the Spirit. But first in verse 8, For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. (1 Cori...
The Gift of Tongues (Part 1) (Holy Spirit Series)
... In this lesson we come to the gift of speaking in tongues. And of all of the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit, this is by far the most controversial. Theological debates really heat up when you get the subject of speaking in tongues. It seems as though, of all of the gifts of the Spirit, this is the only one that was not manifested in the Old Testament. The rest of the gifts of the Spirit are found manifested in the Old Testament. This one seems to be limited to the New Testament. There is one possibility of this gift being manifested in the Old Testament an...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 7-8 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn tonight to Acts chapter 7. In the early church when a dispute arose among the Grecians--that is, those Jews of the Grecian culture. They were actually Jews, but they had followed the Grecian culture, which was a universal culture as the result of Alexander the Great's conquest of the world. He left little pockets of Greek culture in the major areas and in Jerusalem. There were many who were no longer kosher. No longer following the Hebrew culture. But had adopted the Grecian culture, though they were still Jews. They felt that their widows were being s...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for John 14:16
... I. ANOTHER COMFORTER. A. The Greek word translated Comforter is parakletos which literally means alongside to help. 1. Jesus had been a comforter to them during the time they had been walking with Him. 2. He is talking about leaving them now and you can imagine the thoughts that must be going through their minds. How will they ever get along without Him? Jesus was a great one to have around. a. Especially, if you were caug...
Verse by Verse Study on John 7-8 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the seventh chapter of the gospel according to John. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him (Jhn 7:1). At this point John begins the record of the last six months of Jesus' ministry. And so you'll notice how much time and attention John spends in the last six months of his ministry. Pointing out the fact that Jesus is no longer walking so openly in the area of Judea among the...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 10:44
... I. "WHILE PETER YET SPOKE THESE WORDS." A. From the text it would seem that suddenly while Peter was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. 1. As a general rule, we seek to keep the services as free from interruptions as possible. a. This is why we discourage people from going in or out during the teaching of the word. b. We do not allow small children in the services. ...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 19:1
... Intro. Paul has left Corinth and sailed for Ephesus with Pricilla and Aquilla, who will remain in Ephesus starting a home Bible study, as Paul spending a few days there will continue to Jerusalem for the feast. As Paul was waiting for a ship to go to Caesarea, he went to the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews, who desired that he remain with them for a while, but he was determined to get to Jerusalem in time for the feast, so he promised to return to them, if it was God's will. We are told nothing of Paul's visit to Jerusalem and the feast, except that ...
Verse by Verse Study on Luke 3-4 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to Luke's gospel chapter 3. As Luke begins the third chapter, he is giving you the date of the beginning of the ministry of John the Baptist, and he uses no less than six historic references points to tell you when John began his ministry. It was in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea, and Herod was the tetrarch (Luk 3:1) And the word "tetrarch" means a ruler of a fourth part. And when Herod t...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 Thessalonians 4-5 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn to first Thessalonians chapter four. Paul the apostle was called of God by the Spirit to go to Macedonia, as he saw in a vision a man from Macedonia saying, "Come over and help us." It was good that Paul did have a dramatic call of God, because I'm certain that once he arrived in Macedonia and experienced some of the adverse reception, he could've very well questioned "Lord, did you really call me here?" His first stop was at Philippi where evil men were stirred up against him, and they had him arrested and beaten, and he was t...
Verse by Verse Study on John 13-14 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn to the thirteenth chapter of the gospel according to John. We have come into a new section of the gospel of John, which carries us through chapter 17. And chapters 13 through 17 cover a period of approximately thirty-six hours or so. Probably more like a twenty-four hour period is covered in these next five chapters. So, this is beginning the night that Jesus was betrayed. And, His prayer in the seventeenth chapter of John is offered sometime prior to the Garden of Gethsemane experience, some twenty-four hours later. So we're actually covering a short period of ...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 Peter 1-2 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight let's turn to First Peter chapter one. Of the many disciples that were following Jesus, He chose twelve to be apostles. One of the twelve that was chosen as an apostle was Simon Peter. Simon Peter was by profession a fisherman. He was called by the Lord from fishing for those Saint Peter's fish in the Sea of Galilee to become a fisher of men, and was a very impulsive person by nature, according to tradition, a very big man physically. He became one of the leaders in the church. And now he is writing his first epistle introducing himself as, ...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 Corinthians 12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you be ignorant (1Cr 12:1). An interesting statement of Paul, because I think that in the church one of the areas where the greatest ignorance does exist today is in the area of spiritual gifts, and their operation within the church. And this ignorance is on both sides of the fence. Within the Pentecostal churches there is a lot of abuse of the gifts of the Spirit, because people are ignorant of their true operation within the c...
The Gift of Tongues (Part 3) (Holy Spirit Series)
... First Corinthians 14 mentions speaking in an unknown tongue several times. The Greek word is glossa, which means tongue. The word unknown is added by the translators and it is correct according to the context. It is speaking in a tongue that the speaker himself does not understand. It could be a known tongue or known language as Paul said, "Though I speak with the tongues of men..." Or it could be perhaps the dialect of heaven or the language of angels. "Though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels..." Speaking in t...
The Gift of Prophecy (Holy Spirit Series)
... We are looking at the manifestations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as they are listed in 1 Corinthians 12. Paul speaks of the gift of prophecy. Now we realize immediately that the gift of prophecy is not something new to the New Testament, but that the gift of prophecy has been exercised throughout the entirety of biblical history. Prophecy is men speaking forth the word of God through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Peter tells us, For the prophecy came not in old time by the will o...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 John 2:12 - 3:24 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to I John chapter 2. And we'll begin tonight at verse 12 where we left off last Sunday night. The book of I John is a book of proofs. It isn't what I say; it's what I am. And I can say one thing and do another. What I say doesn't count; what I do is what counts. For if I say that I have no sin, I'm only deceiving myself, and the truth isn't in me. If I say that I have fellowship with God and I am walking in darkness, I'm lying and I'm not telling the truth. If I say I know Him and I don't keep His c...

Verse by Verse Study on Ezekiel 36-39 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Ezekiel 36 as we continue our study in this very fascinating prophecy. In chapter 36 Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Now this is the second time he prophesied to the mountains of Israel. The first time was back in chapter 6, and he was prophesying the desolations that would come to the mountains of Israel and to the cities because they had built the high places on the mountains and worshipped the false images, idols, and gods. And thus he spoke about the ...
Verse by Verse Study on Matthew 1-4 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's get into the Gospel According To Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector in Capernaum before he was called by Jesus Christ to be a disciple. He was also called Levi. And he opens his gospel by giving to us the genealogy of Jesus Christ back to Abraham, as he said in chapter one, verse one, The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham (Mat 1:1). Now the Lord had promised to Abraham, "through thy seed shall all of the nations of the e...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 2:1
... ACTS 2:1 I. THE THREE SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA THAT ACCOMPANIED THE INITIAL OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST. A. Sound as a mighty rushing wind; cloven tongues of fire upon each of them; their speaking in the various languages. B. Of these three, only one of them was repeated in the scriptures. 1. In chapter four, there is another phenomena that was not repea...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 8:14
... I. AN AREA OF UNNECESSARY CONTROVERSY. A. The subject of the filling and the baptism in the Holy Spirit has been one of great controversy in the church. 1. People are divided into two sharply diverse camps. a. Those who believe that it is a separate experience from salvation, and those who believe that you receive the baptism of the Spirit when you are saved. "Baptized by the Spirit into the body of Christ," combined with o...
Verse by Verse Study on Luke 23-24 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... And the whole multitude of them arose, and they led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ [or the Messiah,] a king (Luk 23:1-2) Now notice, their accusation against Him was blasphemy, "You're saying You're the Son of God." When they brought Him to Pilate to accuse Him before Pilate, they didn't make that charge at all before Pilate. Why? Because...
Verse by Verse Study on Colossians 1 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles tonight to Colossians, chapter one. The city of Colosse, was in the area known as Pergia, a part of Asia Minor. A couple of other churches are greeted by Paul in this epistle, and the epistle was told to be read also to those churches and that was the Laodicean church. And also the one in Hierapolis. Paul had never personally been to these churches. They had never seen his face. However, the churches were probably started as a bi-product of Paul's ministry in Ephesus, for as Paul was in Ephesus for two years and Ephesus is not that far from Laodic...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Ephesians 1:13
... Intro. We are talking about our trusting in Christ. I. "IN WHOM YOU ALSO TRUSTED AFTER YOU HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH." A. Paul asked in his epistle to the Romans, "How can they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?" 1. The hearing of the word of truth is the first step. 2. The trusting in the word, that it is truth is the second step. B. Paul went on to explain that...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Ephesians 3:20
... I. PAUL IS EXTOLLING HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE CAN ASK OR THINK. A. As we shared last week it is important that we know that He is able. 1. We should never measure problems by our capacity to deal with them. 2. Difficulty must always be measured by the capacity of the agent doing the work. B. What is the agency doing the work? "According to the power that worketh in us.&q...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 Timothy 3-4 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight we will be studying First Timothy three and four. It is interesting as Paul writes to Timothy on several occasions, he uses phrases that are interesting to me. He said, This is a faithful saying, it's worthy of all acceptation. Here he says, beginning chapter three, This is a true saying (1Ti 3:1), Again, he'll say, "This is a faithful saying worthy of all acceptation." He'll say, "Without controversy." He speaks to Timothy with interesting phrases affir...
Verse by Verse Study on Galatians 3 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Galatians chapter three. Background: Paul the apostle had been in the area of Galatia. Galatia was a general area like a county or a state. It was not a city. There were many churches established there. After Paul's departure, other teachers came in declaring that the people could not be saved by a simple faith in Jesus Christ, but must also to that faith add the obedience to the law and the rituals of the law of circumcision. And many of the people in those churches that were brought to the gospel of Jesus Christ through Paul's preaching...
Verse by Verse Study on John 16-17 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to John's gospel, chapter 16. Now, these words in the sixteenth chapter have to be understood with the background as Jesus has been in the upper room with His disciples. He has told them as He had the Lord's supper with them that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drank it anew in the kingdom. After supper, He has washed their feet, giving to them an example of what the ministry is all about; it's that of a servant. And then there in the upper room He speaks to them of that beautiful relationship that they would have with th...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 11:4
... Intro. As we have mentioned, Peter knew that when the church in Jerusalem heard that he had taken the gospel to the Gentiles, he would be challenged. Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him. They said, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them." I. AS WE HAVE MENTIONED IN THAT MID-EASTERN CULTURE, TO EAT WITH A PERSON WAS TANTAMOUNT TO BECOMING ONE WITH THEM. A. That is why the Jew would never eat with a Gentil...
