The Holy Spirit by Geoff Thomas
Chapter 1 The Holy Spirit: The Infinite, Personal God
“Many people today are ignorant about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, both theologically and experientially” Pg. 2
Prompt: Respond to Thomas’ assertion here. Do you sense this is accurate of the church today? Why have a conference dedicated to the Holy Spirit?
“We know that the Son of God became incarnate, died on the cross, rose from the grave, and ascended to the throne of heaven so that He might pour out His Spirit at Pentecost and continue pouring Him out on the church everywhere. Without the gift of the Holy Spirit, the earlier accomplishments of the Savior would not have profited us.” Pg. 2
Prompt: How is the work of the Holy Spirit connected to the Gospel? Why is the gift of the Holy Spirit necessary to each and every Christian?
The essential, vital, central element in the life of every congregation is the person and work of the Spirit of God as illuminated and structured and judged by the Spirit-breathed Word. Pg. 2
Prompt: Discuss the practical application of this in the life of the local church. Where and why is the Spirit’s work “essential, vital, and the central element for the church”?
There is no good in any of us that is not a result of the Spirit’s work. Every virtue we possess, every victory we win, and every thought of holiness are due to the Spirit. Whatever God calls us to do in life can be accomplished only by the Holy Spirit. Pg. 2
Prompt: Is Thomas overstating our dependency on the Holy Spirit? Is there biblical evidence for these claims?
What verse come to mind? (Gal 5:13-26, John 15:5)
