Hey, Lou.
- 00:03 - 00:05
Welcome to feel to 10.
- 00:05 - 00:09
This is Craig Case, and I'm gonna be doing something
- 00:09 - 00:10
different today.
- 00:10 - 00:13
Only using a Prezi video my first time using the
- 00:14 - 00:14
video option.
- 00:14 - 00:15
It's brand new Prezi.
- 00:16 - 00:19
I'm gonna president lectures before, but this is pretty cool
- 00:19 - 00:21
with the video aspect.
- 00:21 - 00:24
As I mentioned email today, this will be our lecture,
- 00:25 - 00:28
and this would be a lot more brief than the
- 00:28 - 00:29
last one.
- 00:29 - 00:30
The last one on that record was like three minutes
- 00:31 - 00:33
long, but mostly only watch 10 minutes.
- 00:34 - 00:35
I'm gonna try to keep it between 10 and 15
- 00:36 - 00:38
minutes. And yes, about Christmas.
- 00:38 - 00:39
Tree is so up.
- 00:40 - 00:41
I'm gonna see if I can make it to April.
- 00:42 - 00:47
Especially being up not entirely self isolated, but spent a
- 00:47 - 00:49
lot of time at home and let everything that's going
- 00:49 - 00:51
on. I need some cheer in my life.
- 00:51 - 00:55
So the Christmas tree and the lights keep me in
- 00:55 - 00:55
good cheer.
- 00:56 - 00:58
We jump in today to the study of the Holy
- 00:58 - 01:00
Spirit, which is called rheumatology.
- 01:02 - 01:04
And let's pull this up.
- 01:07 - 01:08
Let me bring up the slide.
- 01:09 - 01:09
Look at that.
- 01:11 - 01:11
Let's go back.
- 01:13 - 01:14
Let's go back to their.
- 01:14 - 01:15
Is that cool?
- 01:17 - 01:17
Look at that.
- 01:18 - 01:19
look I can do.
- 01:20 - 01:21
My hand can go through there.
- 01:23 - 01:24
New mythology is the state.
- 01:25 - 01:27
The Holy Spirit comes from the Greek word Numa, which
- 01:28 - 01:30
means breath means wind.
- 01:31 - 01:35
And there you're probably see a little bit delay on
- 01:35 - 01:36
the audio with the video.
- 01:37 - 01:41
I'm noticing my test run that the video isn't as
- 01:41 - 01:45
a smooth with the audio, but anyways, three ancient rabbis
- 01:46 - 01:51
actually believe the Holy Spirit, um could actually found in
- 01:52 - 01:53
the spirit of God Could be phoned in our breath
- 01:54 - 01:54
are vory breath.
- 01:56 - 02:01
And, um, I remember one sermon they that watched, and
- 02:01 - 02:05
the pastor talked about that and talked about the Holy
- 02:05 - 02:10
Spirit being phoned in breath our breath and raised the
- 02:10 - 02:15
question When you're born, um, is it simply that we're
- 02:15 - 02:16
breathing for the first time?
- 02:17 - 02:21
Or is the presence of the Holy Spirit for riel
- 02:22 - 02:24
the first time in our lives in the same way
- 02:24 - 02:26
when we die is our last breath?
- 02:27 - 02:31
Or is it our last sort of experience with the
- 02:31 - 02:33
Holy Spirit until we go to heaven?
- 02:34 - 02:37
So raised a really good question on that up front
- 02:37 - 02:38
at the very thought provoking.
- 02:39 - 02:41
But the Old Testament that's we're going to begin and
- 02:41 - 02:44
make our way to the New Testament to the age
- 02:44 - 02:46
of the church, which we find ourselves in and then
- 02:46 - 02:49
also church history s what the Holy Spirit, who the
- 02:49 - 02:50
spirit is.
- 02:50 - 02:54
And then what kind of Rolls Royce bird have the
- 02:55 - 02:59
Old Testament, as many of us know right away and
- 02:59 - 03:01
verse to it mentions the whole East immense of the
- 03:01 - 03:05
spirit of God, which the Holy Spirit in Genesis Chapter
- 03:05 - 03:08
one verse to that the spirit was hovering above the
- 03:09 - 03:11
waters and thrilled to the Old Testament.
- 03:12 - 03:15
The Holy Spirit is described as creative, just like this
- 03:15 - 03:15
one too.
- 03:16 - 03:18
But also we see other passages, for example, in the
- 03:18 - 03:21
Old Testament, where the spirit of God is life giving
- 03:21 - 03:21
and sustaining.
- 03:23 - 03:25
Keep in mind we talk about the Holy Spirit.
- 03:25 - 03:28
We're talking about this the hoist for being there in
- 03:28 - 03:33
creation. It's like the son of God who had who
- 03:33 - 03:37
is eternal, the pre existent son of God, the same
- 03:37 - 03:40
way the hoi spirit has always been there, just like
- 03:41 - 03:41
Jesus Christ.
- 03:41 - 03:42
It's like God the father.
- 03:43 - 03:45
It was like us and the Holy Spirit showed up
- 03:45 - 03:45
at Pentecost.
- 03:46 - 03:48
Next chapter to the Holy Spirit is found throughout the
- 03:49 - 03:49
Old Testament and New Testament.
- 03:50 - 03:52
Sometimes we think it's simply the New Testament, but it's
- 03:52 - 03:56
not also, as we see in the Old Testament to
- 03:56 - 03:57
and I'm not.
- 03:58 - 03:59
We don't have to go through all the passages.
- 03:59 - 04:00
These are all based on Scripture.
- 04:01 - 04:02
If you want to really look at this.
- 04:02 - 04:05
This is based off the Park Point lecture from this
- 04:05 - 04:09
week's model, But the spirit regenerates the voiceprint and powers
- 04:09 - 04:12
the Holy Spirit fills and the Old Testament.
- 04:12 - 04:16
We see that happen, for example, that book Ezekiel and
- 04:16 - 04:19
an incredible Passes about the dry bones and the spirit
- 04:19 - 04:19
of God.
- 04:20 - 04:20
It was a beautiful picture.
- 04:21 - 04:25
Then we see Joel talking about in the prophecy, and
- 04:25 - 04:27
then it's mentioned acts as well by Peter and Sermon
- 04:27 - 04:30
Next three that the spirit of guy will fall upon
- 04:31 - 04:32
young men and women.
- 04:33 - 04:35
This beautiful, actually young women and men.
- 04:35 - 04:39
Um, the sequencing of that was very unique because women
- 04:40 - 04:42
to really were not mentioned before men.
- 04:43 - 04:47
Any kind of writing and Jules prophecy is showing God
- 04:48 - 04:50
had planned a long time ago for a new humanity.
- 04:50 - 04:54
Were women and men would be on equal footing, and
- 04:55 - 04:57
then we also see the spirit on the New Testament,
- 04:58 - 05:02
Uh, for example, of Holy Spirit anoints Jesus guides.
- 05:03 - 05:04
Jesus, for example.
- 05:04 - 05:08
The 40 days of temptation the desert with a Satan
- 05:09 - 05:12
that Jesus guided are these Excuse me, the Holy Spirit
- 05:13 - 05:16
guide in Jesus, and then also attended to him and
- 05:16 - 05:20
power Jesus, and that Jesus Christ was full of the
- 05:20 - 05:20
hoi spirit.
- 05:21 - 05:23
Wouldn't say he was filled because from the time he
- 05:24 - 05:26
took breath, he was full of the Holy Spirit.
- 05:27 - 05:30
We're going to see this very interactive relationship between the
- 05:30 - 05:32
Holy Spirit Jesus Christ and God the father.
- 05:33 - 05:37
Also, we see in the Gospels that Gina's promised to
- 05:37 - 05:38
send another counselor.
- 05:39 - 05:42
Um, who would empower teach guy testify?
- 05:43 - 05:45
Help, Counselor is another word.
- 05:45 - 05:46
That work could be an advocate.
- 05:47 - 05:48
Our helper.
- 05:49 - 05:50
It comes from this Greek word.
- 05:51 - 05:54
And that is a very important for us because as
- 05:55 - 05:58
talking, just a friend before this lecture and we can
- 05:58 - 06:01
check in with each other and and he has a
- 06:01 - 06:03
ministry on college campuses.
- 06:04 - 06:07
And he was talking to a group of students sophomore
- 06:08 - 06:10
to the immersive Minnesota of the A zoom, just like
- 06:10 - 06:14
we have, um, and they're just doing a Bible study
- 06:14 - 06:19
and one person finally said, It's so cool that what
- 06:19 - 06:21
Jesus did it just hadn't got ascended.
- 06:22 - 06:25
We went to receive the Holy Spirit and we have
- 06:25 - 06:29
the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is in us,
- 06:29 - 06:31
and the Holy Spirit works in our lives and works
- 06:32 - 06:35
in the lives of every believer that before didn't happen.
- 06:36 - 06:37
He didn't have that personal relationship.
- 06:38 - 06:38
I just love that.
- 06:38 - 06:41
That statement, the work of Holy Spirit, is to manifest
- 06:42 - 06:44
the active presence of God in the world wing Group
- 06:45 - 06:47
Home in a great book on a systematic theology tox
- 06:47 - 06:50
book that's the primary role of the Holy Spirit is
- 06:50 - 06:52
to manifest the presence of God.
- 06:53 - 06:55
Now, as we talk about the Holy Spirit in the
- 06:55 - 06:58
age of the Church, which is the New Testament, our
- 06:58 - 07:01
era that we're in in right now, the Holy Spirit
- 07:01 - 07:03
Bill's got in Christ and calls people to salvation.
- 07:04 - 07:09
Chuck Swindal, a great pastor and teacher I used to
- 07:09 - 07:11
listen to all the time I remember him talking about
- 07:12 - 07:14
the Holy Spirit that uncertain certain occasions.
- 07:15 - 07:19
For example, we see what Paul, um, that the Hoi
- 07:19 - 07:20
Spurs is the hound of heaven.
- 07:21 - 07:24
And then, in other words, the Holy Holy Spirit is
- 07:24 - 07:28
calling and and falling after people who are not Christians
- 07:29 - 07:31
and in a way, like a like a daughter.
- 07:31 - 07:35
A home trying is the hoist parts, falling them and
- 07:35 - 07:38
following them and trying to bring them to Christ.
- 07:38 - 07:39
I love that.
- 07:40 - 07:42
Also, the only spirit regenerates us.
- 07:43 - 07:45
So we see it in Romans Chapter 12 verses one
- 07:45 - 07:48
through two and talks about us being transformed by the
- 07:49 - 07:53
renewing of your mind that were transform is where we
- 07:53 - 07:54
get the word metamorphosis.
- 07:55 - 07:58
It means a change from the inside out regeneration, or
- 07:58 - 07:59
you and I become new people.
- 08:00 - 08:04
That's exactly the Holy Spirit does, um, with salvation, And
- 08:04 - 08:07
we'll talk later, later on this week, about the process
- 08:08 - 08:11
of salvation as we talk more about Shorty Realogy, also
- 08:12 - 08:15
the hoi spurs involved in are adopting as the sons
- 08:15 - 08:18
and daughters of God sanctifying us, purifying us and unites
- 08:18 - 08:19
a person of Jesus Christ.
- 08:20 - 08:23
And I think oftentimes we forget about just how active
- 08:23 - 08:27
the Holy Spirit is also and become the church history.
- 08:27 - 08:30
The Nicene Creed has a vory defendant statement about Chloe's
- 08:30 - 08:33
spirit. Were it simply states and in the Holy Spirit
- 08:34 - 08:38
and the creed goes on to say certain things about
- 08:38 - 08:39
the Holy Spirit.
- 08:39 - 08:40
For example, the Holy Spirit is divine.
- 08:42 - 08:46
It's on the same footing as God, the father and
- 08:46 - 08:46
Jesus Christ.
- 08:47 - 08:48
It's not like God.
- 08:48 - 08:50
The father is up here than Jesus Christ.
- 08:50 - 08:51
Little bit load that Got that.
- 08:51 - 08:53
God, the Father and the Holy Spirit is like the
- 08:53 - 08:57
junior members, like he's the caddy in golf terms of
- 08:58 - 08:59
For Jesus and for the father.
- 08:59 - 09:01
No, no oi spurt is on equal footing.
- 09:02 - 09:03
The Holy Spirit's divines.
- 09:03 - 09:06
There's the Nicene Creed that's very, very important for us,
- 09:07 - 09:11
because when the Holy Spirit manifest and reveals things that
- 09:12 - 09:15
that the fact that the oysters Devine means it's the
- 09:15 - 09:19
hoist birch revealing Tow us who got ISS, it's very
- 09:19 - 09:21
important. Three and one.
- 09:22 - 09:24
The spirits divine attributes of this, and this is based
- 09:25 - 09:25
on Scripture.
- 09:25 - 09:27
If you want to look more into this again, look
- 09:27 - 09:27
at the my part.
- 09:28 - 09:30
Points are part points, a slide show.
- 09:30 - 09:33
It really shows the passengers on this.
- 09:33 - 09:38
But just like God, the father, the spirits, divine attributes
- 09:38 - 09:38
are eternal.
- 09:40 - 09:43
The words of the Holy Spirit has been, is and
- 09:43 - 09:45
will be also the hoist.
- 09:45 - 09:49
Burt is omnipresent, also the Holy Spirit is Amish int.
- 09:50 - 09:55
Also, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent and also the holy
- 09:55 - 09:59
spirits. Divine attributes are loved, and we see that, for
- 09:59 - 10:05
example, in first Corinthians were pulp attributes love to the
- 10:05 - 10:07
work and personal holy spirit.
- 10:08 - 10:09
And it's important for us.
- 10:09 - 10:12
And I think I made a mistake just a few
- 10:12 - 10:14
minutes ago by talking mentioned a voice spirit.
- 10:14 - 10:15
Is it?
- 10:16 - 10:16
It's not it.
- 10:17 - 10:18
It's not in material.
- 10:18 - 10:19
It's personal.
- 10:20 - 10:22
Always spirit is mentioned as he now.
- 10:22 - 10:27
Of course, we don't believe the Holy Spirit has a
- 10:27 - 10:29
gender. It's like God, I'm a gender.
- 10:30 - 10:34
But where personal pronoun is used, it's important.
- 10:35 - 10:37
That's a personal pronoun because the Holy Spirit is personal.
- 10:39 - 10:42
Oi Spirit is not impersonal, and that's important for us.
- 10:43 - 10:44
And the Hoist bird is not a ghost.
- 10:45 - 10:48
And the King James version I grew up with it
- 10:48 - 10:50
seemed like every time I heard about the Holy Spirit,
- 10:51 - 10:51
it was called the Holy Ghost.
- 10:52 - 10:53
That kind of freaked me out as a little kid.
- 10:54 - 10:56
I was like, Why don't I want that Holy Ghost
- 10:56 - 10:57
to be in my life?
- 10:57 - 11:01
But as I learned more more about it, um, actually,
- 11:02 - 11:05
that term made some sense in terms of why was
- 11:05 - 11:09
used. Also the whole divine works, the way spirit, our
- 11:09 - 11:13
creation regeneration as we talked about sanctification and a giver
- 11:14 - 11:14
of gifts.
- 11:15 - 11:16
That's something that's important.
- 11:16 - 11:18
We see throughout the New Testament that the Holy Spirit,
- 11:19 - 11:24
we believe, gives at least one spiritually gift to every
- 11:24 - 11:26
believer. I don't know if you ever taken taken a
- 11:26 - 11:30
special gift test before, but there are a number that
- 11:30 - 11:30
are mentioned first.
- 11:30 - 11:34
Peter Ephesians four, mentioned first Corinthians Chapter 12 for example,
- 11:35 - 11:39
mentioned in In Romans, Chapter 12 and else in the
- 11:39 - 11:43
Old Testament, for example, I've taken a special gifts test.
- 11:43 - 11:44
If you want, take a free one.
- 11:45 - 11:46
There's bunch available online.
- 11:46 - 11:48
If you want a link, just let me know.
- 11:48 - 11:53
But I'm based on assessment that I've taken numerous times
- 11:55 - 11:57
and also that the affirmation of those Rommie that's important,
- 11:58 - 12:01
too. I had the spiritual gift of teaching in leadership,
- 12:02 - 12:06
and, um, if you haven't taken way to encourage a
- 12:06 - 12:07
big that comes from the work of the Holy Spirit,
- 12:07 - 12:08
that's not meat gifting myself.
- 12:10 - 12:13
But the Holy Spirit doing that, for example, craftsmanship is
- 12:13 - 12:14
another Scripture gift.
- 12:14 - 12:15
It's mentioned the Old Testament.
- 12:15 - 12:17
We have a guy at our church is amazing.
- 12:17 - 12:20
Carpenter. Well, he has a gift of craftsmanship, and he
- 12:20 - 12:21
does things now.
- 12:21 - 12:24
He's retired toe, bless our church and built us a
- 12:24 - 12:25
brand new pulpit.
- 12:25 - 12:27
He built us a beautiful communion table.
- 12:29 - 12:31
Also, the Holy Spirit, as I mentioned, is personal.
- 12:32 - 12:36
The hoist Burt is judging in hearing and searching and
- 12:36 - 12:39
speaking, for example, when he gives his tongues.
- 12:40 - 12:43
And that's something the Holy Spirit does and uses that
- 12:44 - 12:44
to speak.
- 12:45 - 12:47
And that's why interpretation is so important when it comes
- 12:48 - 12:50
to the gift of tongues, as Paul talks about in
- 12:51 - 12:54
first Corinthians Chapter 12 also ahoy!
- 12:54 - 12:54
Spirit teaches.
- 12:56 - 12:57
I think for us, when we come to Scripture, we
- 12:58 - 12:58
come to.
- 12:58 - 13:01
Perhaps this class is to realize you're not alone at
- 13:02 - 13:04
the Holy Spirit's job is to teach you to illuminate.
- 13:06 - 13:09
Maybe you come across something that you're like in the
- 13:09 - 13:13
past. Used to be very confusing, something that flummoxed to
- 13:14 - 13:15
about Christianity, about God.
- 13:17 - 13:20
And yet, now, or maybe recently it makes sense, and
- 13:20 - 13:22
also it's like the lights were turned on.
- 13:22 - 13:23
Well, that's called illumination.
- 13:24 - 13:28
That's the Holy Spirit, illuminating and teaching us, and that's
- 13:28 - 13:29
a beautiful looking boat.
- 13:29 - 13:31
Christianity this faith is that the hoist for continues to
- 13:31 - 13:32
do that.
- 13:32 - 13:34
I'm learning things each day.
- 13:35 - 13:38
I love that that there's no like end of learning
- 13:39 - 13:40
when it comes to be a believer in Jesus Christ,
- 13:41 - 13:44
and also the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.
- 13:45 - 13:46
The Holy Spirit's preying on our behalf.
- 13:47 - 13:51
I love that, and that brings us to the end
- 13:51 - 13:53
of this lecture on the Holy Spirit.
- 13:54 - 13:56
But that's when I leave you with this as each
- 13:57 - 14:00
of us air dealing with challenges and stressors and such
- 14:00 - 14:03
as want to leave you with a passage where, as
- 14:04 - 14:08
Jesus talking about giving us the gift of the counselor
