Roots of the Faith – “The Work of the Holy Spirit” part 1

Leave a reply

My notes for Wednesday night, Jan 17th. Remember, these are my personal study notes and not a manuscript of the sermon. They are provided as an outline each week for our Tabernacle Church family. Our study over the next few months will be “The Roots of the Faith.” This study will focus on key biblical truths that will transform our thinking and allow us to faithfully live out the Christian life. You can find Sermon Notes, Family Devotional Guides, Prayer List, and other resources at our Church Website.

INTRO

  • The inseparable operations of the Triune God mean that the three persons always work together in creation, redemption, and consummation.
  • Still, their roles can be distinguished, which means that the Holy Spirit is particularly associated with certain divine works.
  • The Spirit carries out the divine will in the world and brings it to completion, with special reference to speaking, applying salvation through re-creating and perfecting, and indwelling God’s people so they are filled with his presence.
