A few weeks ago, J & K in London (to celebrate our Ruby Wedding)
went on Sun.
morning to worship at
HTB – home of the Alpha Course…
The Alpha Course: phenomenon in Ch. life!
- began as simple presentation of Xian Faith for new Xians (1977)
Nicky Gumbel (!) took over in 1990 – developed it as means of evangelism: informal, friendly, open, relaxed.
Now world-wide – in 21 countries
(incl.
Scotland!)
Acknowledged & respected everywhere - e.g.
Sandy Millar preached
in Uganda
(new Archbp’s installation)
In Abdn.: used course many times – in local pub, in ch., in homes …
Course covers imp.
qns. to which people want straightforward answers
…
*HS w~/e* /or/ *HS Day*: essential element (/without it, Course is impotent/ …)
: teaching and experience
— HS is not intellectual concept,
but “lived reality” !
Conf.
Prep classes … – understand FATHER …
“ JESUS …
but not HOLY SPIRIT …
First Xians came to understanding through experience … Jews …
Still today, HS recognised in what He does! Cf.
“wind” [/ruach/]
HS Day – 3 sessions: /Who is the Holy Spirit?/
/ What does the Holy Spirit do?/
/ How can I be filled with the Spirit?/
These are qns.
that are relevant to every believer, and to which we need to know the answers!
Do you? Do you want to? - on this */Day of the Holy /*
*/ Spirit!/*
*1.
Who is the HS?*
Often ignored and misunderstood … !
At work from beginning (Creation …)
In OT, came on particular people for particular tasks
(cf.
Gideon, Samson, Isaiah – for leadership, strength and
prophecy)
Promised by Father (cf Joel 2:28 “/I will pour out my /
/ Spirit/”)
Predicted by Jesus …
*2.
What does the HS do?*
Gives us “new birth” (cf.
Jn. 3)
Helps us to pray (cf.
Rom 8:26)
Teaches us to understand Bible
Unites us in family of God
Produces in us “family likeness”
Gives spiritual *~*fruit* ~/ ☼*gifts* and *strength* for “service”
[*~**“/love, joy, peace,/…” ☼gifts include “speaking in tongues”…]
*3.
How can I be filled with the Spirit?*
Look at what happened on Day of Pentecost —
*/Power…/*
!
Boldness…
Are these evident in this church?
in our lives?
*ASK* God for HS today — /to be “*filled*” today!/
§ Co-operate with HS
§ Believe
§ Persevere
Greatest hindrances are
* Doubt
* Fear
* Inadequacy & unworthiness
*HS* blesses ~/ changes ~/ heals ~/ enriches …
/Do not resist …/
!! Do not quench…
/Do not deceive…/
