The Holy Spirit - Part 1

So after a day of reading and discussing how to communicate the Holy Spirit here is what I have so far. There are 4 talks. Talks 1 & 2 are really one LONG talk :)

The Spirit connects us to Jesus - Part 1
Big Idea: The Spirit connects us to the work of Jesus

1. Clearing the floor
a) Understanding the Holy Spirit within the Trinity
b) The inseperable nature of Word and Spirit
c) The Spirit in the Old & New Testaments
d) The Spirit (ual) Fulfilment

2. Connecting to Jesus
a) The art of connecting
b) The work of the Spirit is faith
c) Faith and the work of the Spirit

3. The strength of the connection
a) Why it is really strong
b) Why it is sometimes weak

The Spirit connects us to Jesus - Part 2
Big Idea: Exploring the nature of the connection in relation to doubt and assurance
(Don't want to give too much away before the weekend!)

1. If we are connected to Jesus, why do we doubt?


2. If we the Spirit connects us to Jesus we have great assurance!


The Spirit gives us new life - Part 3

The Spirit gives us a great deposit - Part 4

More to come on part 3 & 4 hopefully tomorrow.

Love to hear your thoughts.
