Father, Son and HOLY SPIRIT

Urban Legend.

We all know some. A strange fact or story, often circulated as true, that no one is really sure of its original source. In families especially. In our house one that lasted into our teenage years was the origin of aspirin. It was invented by an uncle. He never told us this nor did we ever think to ask. It happened sometime in the past and we were sure of it.

Unfortunately there are things in our faith that we treat the same way. Truths that are critical to the life that the Bible speaks about. The life we long for but often don’t fully experience.

One of the most important of these is the person of the Holy Spirit. Central to the purposes and promises of God being realized in our lives, He is often neglected or believed on in a superficial way. We read about Him and even speak about Him but not really sure of His actual influence.

In August we are going to explore His role in the Scriptures and seek to bring His person and work to into the reality of our daily lives.

Alongside the Scriptures I want to recommend to you a recent book. It’s Francis Chan’s Forgotten God. This is a very practical and helpful book in better understanding the third person of the trinity--the one who lives in each of us who follow Christ.

Something is Missing  / 1 Corinthians 2.6-13
We can live as Christians without every knowing or fully experiencing the gifts of God.

Its not about You  / 1 Corinthians 12.7-11
The gifts of God are experienced in us when there invested in the life of others.

Honor God with your Body  /  1 Corinthians 6.12-20
Sex is important to God. Its misuse in our lives has far-reaching consequences.

Supernatural Person  /  Galatians 5.22-26
The life we long for cannot be achieved but only received as we daily depend on the Spirit.

Supernatural Church /  I Corinthians 1.26-2.5
To experience God is to experience amazement.
