The Spirit of Christ

April 26, 2020 Speaker: Tim Rice Series: The Life of Christ

Passage: Galatians 3:1-6, Romans 8:9-11

Memory Verse for the Week: Galatians 3:2-3 (ESV)

Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Intro: Why did Jesus believe it was better for Him to go away?

WIND, WATER, FIRE
How do we rightly understand the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus?

LIFELESS, ARID & CORRUPT
Why do we need the Spirit’s work?

JESUS’ END GAME
Why is the gift of the Spirit the crescendo of Jesus’ redeeming work?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US ...

1. Worship the LORD for His grace and trustworthiness. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that He is merciful to save people like us, not merely forgiving us but working to transform us!

2. How have you lived more confident in your own will power than trusting Jesus? Confess your foolishness and unbelief to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and restore you from your guilt and brokenness.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for His work to cleanse us so that we could be indwelled by His Holy Spirit. Thank Him for removing all that’s wrong with us, and filling us with all the goodness of His very Presence!

4. Who do you know that seems to know very little of the work of the Holy Spirit? Pray for them, asking the Lord to lead them beyond mere will power to true repentance and faith in Jesus’ power.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love! Pray that He would help you grow in your knowledge of Him and His ways, and that He would empower you to live more and more on mission in His love.
