When someone that you're discipling and helping through addiction has already confessed their sin, but has relapsed or given into temptation again, what do you say?

23 april 2020 · 49 min

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What does the Spirit do?
What is the chief confusion you find among students when considering the doctrine of the Holy Spirit?
How do you discern if something is actually the work of the Spirit?
The role of the Spirit in the Old Testament vs. the New Testament…
How did the doctrine of the Holy Spirit develop from the early church fathers, through the medieval period into the Reformation?
So, for the last century or so, through Charismatic renewal movements...the doctrine of the Spirit has occasionally been involved in intramural skirmishes. Particularly around the spiritual gifts, specifically what are sometimes called the “sign” or the “miraculous” gifts. How can our views on the gifts of the Spirit be strengthened by deeper reflection on the person of the Spirit?
Helpful Definitions:
Eternal Procession: The Holy Spirit’s unique attribute in relation to the Father and Son: He has always come from the Father and the Son and will continue to do so forever. All things are from the Father, through the Son and by the Spirit.
Eternally Begotten: The Son’s unique attribute in relation to the Father and the Spirit: the Son is sourced in the Father, but there was never a time when the Son began. All things are from the Father, through the Son and by the Spirit.
Christology: The eternally begotten Son, who shares in the divine nature assumed upon Himself a fully human nature in the incarnation. Jesus is truly God and truly Man.
