The Deity of the Holy Spirit
Chris Hefner
The Spirit is identified as God (Acts 5:1-10, esp. vv. 3-4).

The Spirit knows God and gives what the Father gives (1 Cor. 2:11-12)

The three persons of the Trinity referenced together (1 Cor. 12:4-6; Eph. 4:4-6)

“Grace of Jesus, love of God, fellowship of the Spirit” (2 Cor. 13:14)

Baptized in the name (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Mt. 28:19-20)

Father, Son, and Spirit interwoven as Savior (Eph. 1:3-14)
The Personality of the Holy Spirit
He knows and thinks (1 Cor. 2:10-11)

He teaches (John 14:26; 1 Cor. 2:13)

He witnesses (John 15:26).

He convicts (John 16:7-8).

He regenerates (John 3:5-7).

He directs and commands (Acts 8:29).

He performs miracles (Acts 8:39).

Through the person and work of the Holy Spirit, we can know God

Because the person and work of the Holy Spirit is divinely mysterious, we must allow God’s Word, not experiences to guide our understanding

January 23, 2023The Doctrine of the Resurrection | 01.18.23
The Doctrine of the Resurrection
Chris Hefner
Theological Implications of the Resurrection
Jesus was “raised for our justification.” Romans 4:23-25

Confession of faith in the risen Christ is necessary for salvation. Romans 10:9-10

Church confession/hymn regarding the death and resurrection of Christ. 1 Cor. 15:3-9

Death is swallowed in the victory of Christ’s resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:54-58

God’s resurrection power raised Christ from the dead, seated him above the powers, and is at work in us. Ephesians 1:19-23
Six Reasons We Can Believe in the Resurrection
The resurrection best accounts for the empty tomb (Matt. 28:13)

The body of Jesus has never been accounted for

If the disciples took the body of Jesus, then they died for a hoax

The first witnesses to the resurrection were not legally able to testify in court

The drastic change in the disciples validates the resurrection story

The rise of Christianity and advance of the church today is a powerful witness to the resurrection
Takeaways:
The resurrection changes everything
The resurrection gives help and hope to hurting people and the suffering church
The resurrection motivates us to help others find life before permanent death overtakes them
