The Full Armor of God (Part 2)

Gary DeLashmutt

Ephesians 6:16-17

The apostle Paul was chained to Roman soldiers when he wrote this letter. He uses their armor to illustrate God's resources for our battle with supernatural evil. This time we discuss the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit.

The Role of the Holy Spirit in Sharing Christ

Gary DeLashmutt

Acts 1:8

The book of Acts unfolds the multi-faceted ways the Holy Spirit enables us to be Jesus' witnesses: 1) He guides us into opportunities to share; 2) He gives us courage and articulation as we share; 3) He convicts people of their need for Jesus; 4) He enables us to do confirming deeds of love; and 5) He encourages us when we experience opposition.\r\n

How the Holy Spirit Empowers Us to Witness

Mike Sullivan

Acts 1:8

The new testament makes clear that God's plan for spreading the gospel is that believers should be his witnesses; we do not do so by our own power, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us by guiding us and opening doors for the gospel, providing us with wisdom and the courage to speak, convicting and drawing people to Jesus, and confirming the truth of our message.

Being Filled with the Holy Spirit

Mike Sullivan

Ephesians 5:18-21

Although we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit the moment we place our faith in Jesus, the Bible speaks of being "filled" with the Holy Spirit as something different. A person filled with the Holy Spirit lives a life characteristic of the Spirit that involves speaking truth to ourselves, giving thanks to God, and actively serving others.

The Prayer of a Servant

Mike Sullivan

John 13-17

In Jesus, we see a perfect model of a life of ministry dependent of the Holy Spirit, rooted in prayer. Christians today are also called to love and serve others through the power of the Holy Spirit, who supplies all we need when resources and power are otherwise scarce. Three key attitudes when asking God to help us serve others are to have a willingness to serve, to recognize our helplessness, and to be shamelessly audacious in prayer.

The Holy Spirit

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 11:1-13

A passage concerning what Jesus taught about the Holy Spirit's future role in His followers' lives. It's a promise of the Holy Spirit's provision for Christians who serve others. If we want to be effective servants, three attitudes are necessary: 1) willingness to serve; 2) seeing our helplessness in meeting people's deepest needs; and 3) shameless audacity in asking God for help. When we ask Him in faith, He will give us whatever provision of the Holy Spirit we need in order to serve others as His representatives.\r\n
