Christian Foundations Class: the Holy Spirit

From our class on Wednesday, May 21st, 2014.  

In Summery: About the Holy Spirit, we believe:  

• He is God, one with the Father and the Son.
• He inspired Scripture and enlightens the believer.
• His primary function in this age is to bring lost humanity to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
• He manifests the life of Christ in the believer in a variety of ways that include both fruit and gifts.
• A deepening work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is both valid and necessary.
• The power and gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to the believer to enable God’s people to do what otherwise they could not do - obey the Great Commission and build up the Body of Christ on earth.

Upward

“True contentment is a scarce commodity in the world. Our world is fueled by discontent. It runs the engines of government, economy, and society. Everyone wants more than he has or wants something else than she has. They want to be happier, wealthier, prettier, whatever. Enormous amounts of time, energy, and money are devoted to seeking this elusive contentment and for its sake sacrifices are made, families are divided, the law is broken, great risks are undertaken, and pleasures hotly pursued.” -Robert Rayburn 

Upward

“The Puritans made it a practice of meditating on six great things from God's Word: the majesty of God; the severity of sin; the beauty of Christ; the certainty of death; the finality of judgment; and the misery of hell.” -Ligon Duncan

"I fear too often the church has become an organization of guilty people with a guilty preacher standing in the pulpit, telling guilty people that they should feel guiltier." -Steve Brown

He Is Risen

“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” -Tim Keller
