The Gentile Pentecost

Dennis McCallum

Mark 7:8-9

God wants to use believers to tell other people about His message and help them understand what God has done for them on the cross. However, believers can put up barriers to that message. Our prejudices, traditions, and arbitrary absolutes can stand in the way of God's love. We should be actively ridding ourselves of these barriers so people can see who God is through us. See what God has to say about this through Peter and Cornelius.\r\n

Spritual D-Day

Dennis McCallum

1 Corinthians 12:13

When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, some of the believers began speaking in tongues. This was a sign from God; an unprecedented miracle God used to validate that what was happening was from Him. Through this event God demonstrated He had a new way to unite people with Himself and other believers. Find out what this means for believers now and how we can be a part of this union as well.\r\n

From Old to New

Dennis McCallum

Acts 1:1-8

The book of Acts records the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant and from the focus on the nation of Israel to the church. The first event recorded is the impartation of the Holy Spirit on believers during Pentecost. What is the role of the Holy Spirit? How are the roles of the Holy Spirit different in the Old Testament than in the New Testament?\r\n

The Helper

Dennis McCallum

John 14:1-30

The disciples are shocked and confused when Jesus tells them he will not be staying with them permanently. Jesus comforts them explaining that it will be better if he goes, as he will send the Helper, or the Holy Spirit, in his place. We learn that the Holy Spirit is the key to true spirituality and has 8 ministries that we can experience: empowering, intercessory, transforming, sealing, indwelling, baptizing, enlightening, and the Inspiration of Scripture.

Overview of Chapters 1-4

Jim Leffel

Galatians 1-4

Within the first four chapters of Galatians, there are three opposing views that Paul addresses within the Galatian church. The first is whether you relate and stand before God based on the law versus God's grace alone. The second was whether to be empowered by the flesh or the Spirit. Lastly, the effect of grace, and whether believers wish to be under bondage to the law or experience the freedom of living under God's grace.

The Spirit of Freedom (Part 2)

Jim Leffel

Galatians 5:16-25

Character transformation is an ongoing process that happens as we depend on the Holy Spirit's power in our lives. Developing a radical dependence on God to change us, we are able to see Him grow our ability to show sacrificial love, take joy in other's growth, and stay at peace with people. Other areas of transformation include gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.

The Spirit of Freedom (Part 1)

Jim Leffel

Galatians 5:16-25

As we seek to grow spiritually, we encounter two competing agendas: the spirit and the flesh. The desires of the flesh are often motivated to put self first and will cause damage within our relationship with God and others. In order to combat this, we must take our thoughts captive against the fleshly thoughts and attitudes and ask for God's help to walk in line with His Holy Spirit as we live based out of God's Word.

Live Free or Die!

Jim Leffel

Galatians 5:1-17

When it comes to growing with God, legalism versus grace are mutually exclusive. Real change happens when we wait and put our confident hope in God's desire to make us more Christlike over our lives, resisting the urge to work to please God. A growing conformity to be more like Jesus will result in exceeding amounts of faith expressing itself through sacrificial love. We will experience more freedom in Christ as we decide to actively depend on the Holy Spirit and live under God's grace.

Promise and Freedom

Jim Leffel

Galatians 3:15-29

Paul tells the Galatians that real freedom comes from living under God's grace instead of legalism. Under legalism, our identity is based off our works and leads to: superficial relating with others, fear of failure, and looking to others for our sense of approval. Under grace, we know: that we're going to fail but we still act, we look to demonstrate God to others, and our lives are transparent. Living under grace allows us to realize God's promises to us as His children and to depend on the Holy Spirit in our lives for change.
