In this study, we continue our investigation into the work of the Holy Spirit, specifically focusing on the completion of his work in delivering the Word and the purpose of miraculous signs. We explore how the Holy Spirit functioned in the first century and why the scriptures indicate that certain miraculous gifts were intended for a specific time and purpose.
Key Topics We Discuss:
- The Source of Living Water: Understanding how we drink from Christ through the Word delivered by the Spirit.
- Guiding into All Truth: Why Jesus’ promise to the Apostles in John 16 meant that the revelation of God’s will would be completed within their lifetime.
- The Laying on of the Apostles' Hands: Examining the scriptural pattern of how miraculous gifts were distributed and what that means for us today.
- That Which is Perfect: A deep dive into 1 Corinthians 13 to understand why prophecies, tongues, and miraculous knowledge were "in part" and why they ceased once the full revelation of God was established.
- Our Current Blessing: Why having the completed, written Word of God is a greater blessing than the partial revelations given during the infancy of the church.
We believe that understanding the finished work of the Holy Spirit helps us appreciate the sufficiency of the Bible and provides us with a firm foundation for our faith.
