19741117 His Internal Ministry - The Performance Of The Holy Spirit - In Creation, Preparation, and Incarnation - Rev. Tommy Jones

Can we trace the existence and the work of the Holy Spirit from the #beginning until now? How doe we know the Holy Spirit was present and active at the Creation? What was/is His role in it? How did mankind receive the breath of Life? How does the Holy Spirit bring glory to God through us? How did the Spirit prepare the World for the coming of the Messiah? What are some examples of the Holy Spirit’s work in the Old Testament? Who do you think gave the prophets advance information about the Messiah beforehand? How did Jesus Christ come into this World or incarnated? Was Jesus helped throughout His ministry by the Holy Spirit? How about His death and resurrection? Can we also tap into that power?

His Internal Ministry – The Person of the Holy Spirit

19741110 His Internal Ministry - The Person Of The Holy Spirit - Rev. Tommy Jones

Today, we have the introduction of a series of messages on the #HolySpirit. John 14 teaches us that we need to know about all 3 persons of the one true #God. You may know God the Father and you may have accepted Jesus Christ the Son as your Lord and Savior, but do you know the person of the Holy Spirit. Without God’s Word, the Bible, it is improbable that you will strike the right balance. What harm is there in over or under emphasizing the Holy Spirit? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit and to speak the Word with boldness? The next 12 messages are meant to enlighten and strengthen your Christian walk. Who is the Holy Spirit and what is His relationship with the Father and the Son? What capacities does the Bible tell us of His personality? Was He there at the Creation, how about the baptism of Jesus Christ? Is He a power or a person? Is He diety? Have you ever heard Him referred to as the Holy Ghost? Why is that an incorrect translation? Why doesn’t He have a more proper name like God or Jesus? What are seven pictures given to us of the Holy Spirit? What are His duties?

Daily Devotion Discipline Finish

19790110 Daily Devotion Discipline Finish - Rev. Tommy Jones

How can we #blend #Bible study and #prayer? When should we pray during our Bible study? With the exception of Jesus Christ, every person we read about in the Bible had flaws in addition to whatever virtue they may present. Pastor Bruce at my church, says that there aren’t many people that God used in the Bible that could pass a background check to work in our children’s ministry. How can we use this information in our prayers? Are there any promises in the passage you are reading that you can claim? Are there any conditions to that promise? Is there an assurance that accompanies the commands we encounter from God while reading His Word? How can we deal with distraction while studying? How do we prevent a one way conversation with the Lord? What posture is best for praying? What three books assist with a daily devotional? Do you use a prayer list?

Strengthening Prayer Life 2 and 3

19790103 Strengthening Prayer Life 2 - Rev. Tommy Jones

What is a great indicator of a #strong walk with the #Lord? How is your prayer life? How well do you communicate with the Almighty Creator of the Universe? Does the Bible show us how to approach God in prayer? We can all call on the greatest being out there. But, is there a difference in the way a Christian and a non-Christian can speak to God? What can we learn from the Lord’s Prayer that Jesus Christ gave us as an example of proper prayer? One way to remember the order of the model prayer is ACTS which stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

I know part 1 is missing, but I think you can still get a blessing from parts 2 and 3. Next week, Lord willing, we will have the wrap up of Daily Devotional Discipline.

*Lesson 3 is missing, sorry about that.

4 Practices to aid

Do you appreciate the Word of God? How many different roles does the Bible say it assumes? The Word of God says that it is a mirror, water, nourishment, and a lamp among other things. Are you a critic of the Bible or is it a critic of you? There is only one weapon given to us against the enemy, can you use it? Do you know hw to appropriate the Bible and its secrets? In this day and age, appropriation is frowned upon, but not so with the Word of God. Have you ever written in your Bible? How about starting a journal? What are some good questions to ask about the passage you have chosen to read? Pick a verse and memorize it.

What is a Quiet Time or daily devotional? Why is it important to #Christian #growth and #well_being? How can you know what God says about a subject if you don’t read His Word? Have you ever wished that God would just tell you what He wants? This week we have four messages discussing the how and why of this matter. Lesson 1 covers the how, lesson 2 covers the why, lesson 3 covers the when, and lesson 4 covers the difficulties you may encounter trying to establish this discipline. Because that’s what it is, a discipline.

Today we wrap up our messages about #witnessing. Who triumphs when we witness? Do we always succeed when we share the #Gospel? How did Paul compare the winning witness’ return to a ticker tape parade? What kind of captives were part of this parade? How do they compare to those to whom we witness? What does Paul mean by making a sweet smell to the Lord? How do we keep this celebration going?

The Winning Witness’ Trials

19810301 Winning Witnesses - The Witness' Trials - Rev. Tommy Jones

If you want to experience #triumph (next week’s message) you will have to pass through some #trials. In witnessing, what are some of the trials you can expect? Which ones will you experience before or during the time you are witnessing? What does Brother Tommy mean by weighing your opportunity? Can you relate to the unsaved without compromising? How did Paul adjust his message to his audience? Will you sometimes be greeted with rejection or even hostility? How should that be handled? Are the trials over once a conversion has taken place? What is the responsibility of the witness afterwards? How should you keep a new Christian on the right track? How do you show them the way to feed and grow? For what marks of insecurity should you look? How about hindrances or discouragements?
