HOLY SPIRIT 3: WORK IN THE CHURCH (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Holy Spirit

a) Who is the Holy Spirit or what is the Holy Spirit?  Is it a force, an energy, a power, or is He a person? We can find out by reading the Bible.

2. Work in the Church

a) The Holy Spirit not only empowers the believer with gifts but works actively in the church and even appoints church leadership (Acts 20:28).  

b) Here are a few examples:

John 16:13 
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”

Acts 16:6-7 
“Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia.  When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.”

Acts 20:28 
“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God which he bought with his own blood.”

Roman 8:14 
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” 

The End ...
