Christmas

Advent Series

The Holy Spirit and John the Baptist

Luke 1:13-17 13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared." FIRE CLEANSES We are personally healed and cleansed

Filling is something we receive, not make happen. Worship not only based on what h’s said and done in the past, but for who he is now.

Luke 1:15 Remembering Wonderous words And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. Remembering Wonderous words

Filling is something we can grow in. Worship not only based on what h’s said and done in the past, but for who he is now.

Luke 1:80 Remembering Wonderous words 80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel. Remembering Wonderous words

In the Spirit we recognize together God’s Presence.

Luke 1:41 Remembering Wonderous words 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, Remembering Wonderous words

The Holy Spirit and Mary mother of Jesus

Luke 1:34 34 And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" 35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy-- the Son of God.. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God." 38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. FIRE CLEANSES We are personally healed and cleansed

Agreement is key Worship not only based on what h’s said and done in the past, but for who he is now.

Luke 1:35-37 35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy-- the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God." Remembering the miracles

Agree to relinquish control in the Spirit’s work

Luke 1:35 "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy-- the Son of God

Agree to the consequences of the Spirit’s work

Matt. 1:18-19 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

The Holy Spirit and Simeon and Anna

Luke 1:25-32 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29 "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; 30 for my eyes have seen your salvation 31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel."

Friends and Secrets

Luke 1:26, 29-32 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 29 "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; 30 for my eyes have seen your salvation 31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel."

Let’s Just Do It!

Ephesians 5 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
