In part 3 of the acts of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts, Mark Lanier focuses on a “check list’ from John that precisely demonstrates Jesus’ teaching on what the Holy Spirit would give His followers. Does the Holy Spirit’s activity fullfill these promises? Go verse by verse and see the work of the Holy Spirit and find out if as Bob Dylans sings, “God Don’t make promises that He don’t keep” is a promise that God has made you if you believe in the saving Grace of the Messiah and God’s plan.

Life Group Greek: Lesson 7- Theological Language

There are Greek words that held a common meaning in their day, but also could hold a more specific meaning for the Christian community. This lesson will discuss how this could affect the translation of: “diabolos” or slanderer; “Church (“Ekklesia”), “Apostle”; and, “Grace” (Charis). The dichotomy in usage, between the secular and the sacred, calls for the translator to determine whether a Greek word is being used in its common sense, or in a particular religious sense. And many of our words have lost some of their original meanings.

Key Words

Balance, symmetry, semantic, dichotomy, sacred, secular, diabolos, slanderer, accuser, “the devil”, “church”, “called out”, legislative body, community, congregation, assembly, Apostle, “kaleo”, “to call, summon, or invite”, messenger, envoy, Grace, Charis, favor, thanks
