Holy Spirit: Helps & Comforts

7/26/2015

 
Teacher: Rusty Kennedy
Series: Holy Spirit

Rusty's Notes

The Spirit Helps Us
Exodus 14:13-14
- 13 But Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and see the Lord’s salvation He will provide for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you must be quiet.”[1]
Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.
Psalm 54:4 - God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life.
Psalm 63:7 - because You are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.
Psalm 94:17 - If the Lord had not been my helper, I would soon rest in the silence of death.
Psalm 118:7 - The Lord is my helper, Therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

The Spirit Helps Us Even in our Prayers
Romans 8:26-27 - 26 In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings. 27 And He who searches the hearts knows the Spirit’s mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.[2]

The Spirit Comforts Us
Isaiah 66:13-14 - 13 As a mother comforts her son, so I will comfort you, and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 You will see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the Lord’s power will be revealed to His servants, but He will show His wrath against His enemies.[3]

The Spirit Comforts & Brings Peace
John 14:15-27 – 15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
19 “In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live too. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you. 21 The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.
25 “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit —the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.[4]

 Romans 8:1-17 - 1 Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,
 - How does that verse right there bring your comfort?
2 because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering, 4 in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.

16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs —heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.[5]

2 Corinthians 1:4-7 – 4 He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ our comfort also overflows. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is experienced in your endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you share in the sufferings, so you will share in the comfort.[6]

2 Corinthians 7:6-7 - 6 But God, who comforts the humble, comforted us by the arrival of Titus, 7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he received from you. He told us about your deep longing, your sorrow, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.[7]

David remembers what they came through
Psalm 136:10-16 – 10 He struck the firstborn of the Egyptians
His love is eternal.
11 and brought Israel out from among them
His love is eternal.
12 with a strong hand and outstretched arm.
His love is eternal.
13 He divided the Red Sea
His love is eternal.
14 and led Israel through,
His love is eternal.
15 but hurled Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.
His love is eternal.
16 He led His people in the wilderness.
His love is eternal. [8]

The Spirit Strengthens Our Spirits
Ephesians 3:16 – 16 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit,[9]

The Spirit Comforts Us
Acts 9:31 - 31 So the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, being built up and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, and it increased in numbers. [10]

Holy Spirit: Guarantees & Insures

7/19/2015

 
Teacher: Rusty Kennedy
Series: Holy Spirit

Rusty's Notes

The Holy Spirit is our Insurance, Proof & Defender
This week Keith Tyner sent me a text: “Do you know how much director’s insurance you have for Leavener board members? And who it’s with?”
    - Show Insurance Policy Folder
    - At one point we got kicked out of Pinheads – “Our insurance doesn’t cover you…”

The Spirit is our guarantee and deposit of the future resurrection
2 Corinthians 1:22 - 22 He has also sealed us and given us the Spirit as a down payment in our hearts.[1]
     - “sealed” as with a signet ring. (Daniel 6:17)
     - God gave believers the Spirit as proof they belong to Him[2]
     - Transaction was completed
     - Seal pointed to ownership
     - Seal pointed to approval
     - Seal is not to be disturbed

2 Corinthians 5:5 - 5 And the One who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.[3]
     - “Lay-away” as a kid
     - Notice: Who is paying who here?
     - A heavenly body awaits us
     - Free from the flesh (battle) and this earth suit.

The Spirit seals us unto the day of redemption Ephesians 1:13 - 13 When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.[4]
     - Truth always exposes error.
     - Jesus is the Truth (John 14:6)
     - "-in Him when you believed—were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit."
     - Only “in Him” that we become God’s family.
Ephesians 4:30 - 30 And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by Him for the day of redemption.[5]
      - The Spirit here is seen as capable of feeling, and so as personal.
      - Because He is loving and kind and friendly, the Holy Spirit may be grieved.… He can be grieved because He is loving, and there must be love present before there can be grief.
      - Epiphany at breakfast one day when a friend who knew their identity couldn't walk with the Spirit. Knew it but couldn't live it... and was suffering.
      - Tozer - "I remind you that there are churches so completely out of the hands of God that if the Holy Spirit withdrew from them, they wouldn’t find it out for many months."

The Spirit confesses that Jesus came in the flesh
1 John 4:2 - 2 This is how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.[6]

The Spirit bears witness in us that we are children of God
Romans 8:14-17 - 14 All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons (a child mature enough to take on adult family privileges and responsibilities).
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs —heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.[7]
     - My Dad was here a couple of weeks ago and we talked about his “funeral” file.

The Spirit cries in our hearts, “Abba, Father”
Galatians 4:6 - And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”[8]
     - The Aramaic word abba means “father,” a term of affection used only among immediate family.
     - The Spirit of the Son allows believers to share in the language of Jesus.
     - Jesus shares the quality of His relationship with the Father with believers.[9]

The Spirit knows the things of God
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 - 10 Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people. 14 But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually. 15 The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. 16 For
who has known the Lord’s mind,
that he may instruct Him?
But we have the mind of Christ.[10]
      - A person possessing the Spirit and guided by Him is able to evaluate and apply all things the Spirit reveals[11]

The Spirit bears witness to the truth in our conscience
Romans 9:1 - 1 I speak the truth in Christ —I am not lying; my conscience is testifying to me with the Holy Spirit[12]
     - It is natural for you to speak truth in Christ.

Holy Spirit: Lives in Us

7/12/2015

 
Teacher: Rusty Kennedy
Series: Holy Spirit

Rusty's Notes

How do you know that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?

The Spirit glorifies and testifies of Christ
John 15:26 - 26 “When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father —the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.”[1]
John 16:14 - 14 ”He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.”[2]

The Spirit fills us
Ephesians 5:18 - 18 And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit:[3]
Acts 2:4 - 4 Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the Spirit gave them ability for speech.[4]
Acts 4:8 - 8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit
Acts 4:31 - 31 When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak God’s message with boldness.[5]
Acts 9:17 -17 So Ananias left and entered the house. Then he placed his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road you were traveling, has sent me so that you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”[6]

The Spirit dwells in us
Romans 8:9-11 - 9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you. [7]
1 Corinthians 3:16 - 16 Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you?[8]
2 Timothy 1:14 - 14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, that good thing entrusted to you.[9]
John 14:17 - 17 ”He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.”[10]

The Spirit is the agent by which we are baptized into the body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:13 - 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.[11]


The Spirit gives us access to God the Father
Ephesians 2:18 - 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.[12]


The Spirit enables us to know that Jesus abides in us
1 John 3:24 - 24 The one who keeps His commands remains in Him, and He in him. And the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit He has given us. [13]
1 John 4:13 - 13 This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given assurance to us from His Spirit.[14]

The Spirit says “Come, Lord Jesus” along with the bride
Revelation 22:17 - 17 Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Anyone who hears should say, “Come!” And the one who is thirsty should come. Whoever desires should take the living water as a gift.[15]
-      An invitation to the redeemed to participate in the bountiful blessings of God’s new creation.[16]

The Spirit dispenses God’s love into our hearts
Romans 5:5 - 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. [17]

Holy Spirit: Makes us New

7/5/2015

 
Teacher: Rusty Kennedy
Series: Roles of the Holy Spirit

Rusty's Notes

Inside Out
“Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head?”
   -     Core memories - super important time in their life
   -     Islands of personality make up Riley
   -     Sadness - dad left us... Emotions don't always tell the truth
   -     Joy tries to control & limit emotions
   -     Confusion between joy & happiness
   -     Joy "I just wanted Riley to be happy"
   -     Facts & opinions puzzle pieces get mixed up all the time
   -     Subconscious is where they take all the troublemakers
   -     Expanded console... Puberty

 James 1:12-18 - 12 A man who endures trials is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
13 No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone. 14 But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires. 15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my dearly loved brothers. 17 Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning. 18 By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth so that we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.[1]

 I John 2:7-11 - 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old command that you have had from the beginning. The old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
9 The one who says he is in the light but hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 10 The one who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he’s going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.[2]

The Spirit regenerates us (John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5)
Regeneration refers to the transformation of the corrupt human nature by the Holy Spirit.
   -     Regeneration is also known as “new birth” or “rebirth.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 - 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.[3]
   -     Jesus described salvation as regeneration (John 3:1–21), emphasizing that people must completely change their lifestyle to experience life under God’s reign (John 3:3, 5).

John 3:5-8 - 5 Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again. 8 The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[4]
   -     Jesus also emphasized the Holy Spirit’s role in regeneration (John 3:8).
   -     Through the work of the Holy Spirit, a person’s mindset and character is transformed from godlessness to godliness (Rom 8:6–8).

Romans 5:6-8 - 6 For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.[5]

The Spirit washes and renews us
Titus 3:1-11 - 1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to slander no one, to avoid fighting, and to be kind, always showing gentleness to all people. 3 For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
5 He saved us — not by works of righteousness
that we had done, but according to His mercy,
through the washing of regeneration and renewal
by the Holy Spirit.
6 He poured out this Spirit on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that having been justified by His grace, we
may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
8 This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone. 9 But avoid foolish debates, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning, 11 knowing that such a person is perverted and sins, being self-condemned. [6]
   -     Such transformations enable believers to do good works.
   -     The “washing” here is not a reference to water baptism.
   -     The washing is a supernatural act of the Holy Spirit (“washing of regeneration”).
   -     Justification is by grace, not any act or procedure we might perform (see v. 7).[7]

The Spirit sanctifies us
2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 13 But we must always thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God has chosen you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth.[8]

1 Peter 1:2 - according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.[9]

Romans 5:16 - 16 And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.[10]

The Spirit supplies us with Christ
Philippians 1:19, KJV - 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,[11]

The Spirit transforms us into the image of Christ
2 Cor. 3:17-18 - 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.[12]

Colossians 3:10 - You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator.[13]

The Spirit grants everlasting life
Galatians 6:8 - 8 because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.[14]

The Holy Spirit’s role is to make us new from the “Inside Out”.
