forgotten?::Teachings

One of the most misunderstood parts of the Christian faith is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In fact, when we hear that term, we probably jump to one, or several questions and thoughts.

  • Is it really like a Ghost whose purpose is to haunt and scare us into doing what God wants us to do?
  • People say, “If you want to know God’s will, just read the Bible.” Isn’t the Bible the way we know what God wants to tell us? Why does God need another means of communicating with us?
  • Is the Holy Spirit part of God, or is it God, or…well who is the Holy Spirit?
  • Is the same Holy Spirit we read about in the New Testament part of the Bible the same Holy Spirit that makes some church people have “unique” spiritual experiences? An what about these crazy people that say God tells them to go do things like kill people…is that the Holy Spirit too?
  • If the same stuff that we read about in the book of Acts can still happen today, why doesn’t it? Does God actually expect those things to happen, or were those for just a specific time and place?

    • All fair questions. And over the next four weeks, our goal is to not only answer these questions by looking into God’s word, but to begin the conversation with God so that we might better understand the Holy Spirit and the role God wants the Holy Spirit to play in our lives.
