God The Holy Spirit (4 of 5)
Trinity
Josh Malone
John 14-16
ILLUS. - Every now and then at the beach I'll take our KITE. But if I brought it into this room ... I can't fly it. Imagine us running around the room trying to fly kites in this room ... we'd look ridiculous! - You can't fly a kite w/o WIND. You must have good strong, steady wind. - And you can't live the Christian life w/o the Holy Spirit.
- Trying to live the Christian life, do ministry, serve others, mature in Christ ... apart from the Holy Spirit ... would be like trying to fly a kite in a gymnasium. You're never going to get off the ground. - WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Let's take a look at God the Holy Spirit ... so we can better understand Him and how He's at work in the church, the world ... in your life. Who is He? What's He up to?
- Quick review ... there is ONE GOD EXISTING IN THREE DISTINCT PERSONS ... Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. - The Father is not the Son/Spirit. The Son is not the Father/Spirit. The Spirit is not the Father/Son ... and there is only one God. Three persons, but only one being that is God. Fully God, all three eternal. Distinct, yet one.
- We've looked at the Father and the Son ... today the Holy Spirit.
In John 14-17 you have some of the best texts in the Bible on the Trinity. In John 17 in the HP prayer you get a look at the relationship between the Father and the Son as Jesus prays before going to the cross. In John 14-16 Jesus is teaching the disciples in his final discourse before the cross. In chapters 14, 15, and 16 Jesus at various points teaches about the Holy Spirit.
- Look at these passages today I want us to answer 3 questions to help us better understand Him ... Who is He? What is He doing? What does this mean for you today?
Jn. 14:16-17 - 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You ...
