WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT? Open to God Mills Hill February 2016

RENEWAL FLOWS FROM RELATIONSHIP  The Lord the Giver of Life  God’s initiative  We come with needs

THE FATHER’S EMBRACE Chris had a picture here of Rembrandt's painting of the Prodigal Son returning.

LONGING “You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”

GOD’S INITIATIVE “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans

GOD IN US Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians )

SPIRITUAL GIFTS: MANIFESTATIONS OF GRACE 1 Corinthians

HARVEST OF THE SPIRIT “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.” (Galatians )

GIFTS AND FRUIT: GOD WORKING THROUGH US AND IN US “I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.” (Ephesians )

QUESTIONS  What do you want God to do in this church? What do you think you need to do to make it more likely?  What do you think God wants to do through you?  What do you want God to do in you?

GOD DEALS WITH US DIFFERENTLY  charismatic experience and gifts  contemplative prayer  reading scripture  practical acts of service  the grace to do what is needed…  etc

1 PETER Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
