Life in the Spirit Sermon

July 22 2018

(1) Review the series thus far:

(2) The Disciples Never Get It Until Pentecost

(3) What gets in the way: Rumors & misconceptions

1)    The Holy Spirit’s got no personality

2)    The Holy Spirit doesn’t work here anymore

3)    The Holy Spirit hurts/ hazes people

4)    The Holy Spirit isn’t interested in me

How you introduce people…

(4) How Jesus introduces the Spirit:

-John 14.15-17

-If you love me… commands

-If you’re at the place where you love Jesus and you want to do well…

-Helper

-The one who is called alongside

-The Holy Spirit has helped Jesus in his life…

-Another

-“Allos” means another of the same kind

-He’s going to ask the father… a personal favor

How might I introduce the Spirit?

-Prayer as a sign of openness
