Slides accompanying a message preached at Plymouth Meeting E.C. Church on Sunday Oct 4, 2015 on the topic The Holy Spirit's Work.

1. The Holy Spirit’s Work

3. Convicts us of our
sin and unbelief.

4. When he comes, he will
prove the world to be in
the wrong about sin;
about sin, because
people do not believe in
me. Jn.8:8-9

5. Convinces us of
holiness of Christ,
our sinless
sacrifice.

6. When he comes, he will
prove the world to be in
the wrong about …
righteousness. About
righteousness, because I
am going to the Father,
where you can see me
no longer Jn. 8:8, 10

7. Convicts us of the
judgment of Satan
and the world yet
to come.

8. When he comes, he will
prove the world to be in
the wrong about
…judgment: about
judgment, because the
prince of this world now
stands condemned. Jn.
8:8,11

9. Grants New Life

10. At one time we too were
foolish, disobedient,
deceived and enslaved by
all kinds of passions and
pleasures. We lived in
malice and envy, being
hated and hating one
another. 4 But when the
kindness and love of God
our Savior appeared,

11. 5 he saved us, not because
of righteous things we had
done, but because of his
mercy. He saved us
through the washing of
rebirth and renewal by the
Holy Spirit, 6 whom he
poured out on us
generously through Jesus
Christ our Savior,
(Titus 3:3-6)

12. Baptism of the
Holy Spirit into the
Body of Christ

13. For we were all baptized
by one Spirit so as to
form one body—whether
Jews or Gentiles, slave
or free—and we were all
given the one Spirit to
drink.
1 Cor. 12:13

14. Lives in believers

15. Don’t you know that you
yourselves are God’s
temple and that God’s
Spirit dwells in your
midst?
1 Cor. 3:16

16. Inspires holy
living and delivers
us from the power
of sin.

17. 1 Corinthians 10:13 “… the
temptations that come into your
life are no different from what
others experience. And God is
faithful. He will keep the
temptation from becoming so
strong that you can’t stand up
against it. When you are
tempted, He will show you a way
out so that you will not give into
it”

18. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 “But
the Lord is faithful, and
he will strengthen and
protect you from the evil
one” (NIV)

19. James 4:7 promises,
“Surrender to God!
Resist the devil, and he
will run from you.”

20. Gives spiritual
gifts.

21. 1 Cor. 12:4 There are
different kinds of
spiritual gifts, but the
same Spirit is the source
of them all.

22. 6 We have different
gifts, according to the
grace given to each of
us.

23. Produces Moral
character

24. The Fruit of the Spirit
the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace,
forbearance, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-
control. Gal 5:22-23

25. Assures us of our
salvation

26. When you believed, you
were marked in him with a
seal, the promised Holy
Spirit, 14 who is a deposit
guaranteeing our
inheritance until the
redemption of those who
are God’s possession
Ephe. 1:13-14

27. Rom. 8:16 The Spirit
himself testifies with our
spirit that we are God’s
children.

28. Guides us into
truth

29. When he, the Spirit of
truth, comes, he will
guide you into all the
truth. John 16:13

30. Reveals Jesus.

31. John 16:14 14 He will
glorify me because it is
from me that he will
receive what he will
make known to you.

32. Comforts us.

33. Unless I go away, the
Advocate will not come
to you; but if I go, I will
send him to you. Jhn
16:7-8

34. Intercedes for us.

35. Rom 8:26 In the same
way, the Spirit helps us
in our weakness. We do
not know what we ought
to pray for, but the
Spirit himself intercedes
for us through wordless
groans.

36. Enables us to
worship

37. John 4:23-24 Yet a time is
coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will
worship the Father in spirit
and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father
seeks. God is spirit, and his
worshipers must worship in
spirit and in truth."

38. Gives power for
service through
his filling.

39. "He, the Holy Spirit gave
gifts to people... to
prepare all God's people
for the work of Christian
service in order to build
up the body of Christ"
Ephesians 4.11-12.

40. Gives boldness for
witness.

41. Acts 1:8 Jesus said, "When
the Holy Spirit comes upon
you, you will be filled with
power, and you will be
witnesses for me.
Acts 4.31b, "They were all
filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to proclaim God's
message with boldness."

42. We are instructed
to:

43. Be led by the
Spirit.

44. Romans 8:14 For all who
are led by the Spirit of
God are children of God.

45. Walk in the Spirit

46. Gal. 5:16 So I say, walk
by the Spirit, and you
will not gratify the
desires of the flesh.

47. Romans 8:1 There is
therefore now no
condemnation to them
which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after
the Spirit

48. Keep on being
filled with the
Spirit.

49. Eph. 5:18 Do not get
drunk on wine, which
leads to debauchery.
Instead, be filled with
the Spirit…

50. Learn from the
Spirit

51. 1 Cor. 2:12 What we
have received is not the
spirit of the world, but
the Spirit who is from
God, so that we may
understand what God
has freely given us.

52. Use our spiritual
gifts for the good
of the Body of
Christ.

53. So Christ himself gave the
apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, the pastors
and teachers, 12 to equip
his people for works of
service, so that the body
of Christ may be built up…
Ephe 4:11-12
