REFLECTIONS- "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." - John 3:17

PASTOR TO PERSON

This Sunday I am beginning a nine-week teaching series on the Holy Spirit. Let me share with you why I planned this series of messages.

In our Wednesday night Bible study, we are currently going through the book of Ephesians. In the opening chapter of that book, Paul begins by listing several blessings that are ours because we belong to Christ. One of the blessings listed is the Holy Spirit, who, as Paul said, is God's deposit, guaranteeing our heavenly inheritance. Several questions regarding the Holy Spirit came up in our study, and we ended up spending several weeks doing a deeper dive into a study of the Holy Spirit. The study ended up being very good and uplifting. Our study on the Holy Spirit caused me to begin to think about preaching on the Holy Spirit again.

I went back through my preaching records and discovered that it has been seven years since I had brought a series of messages on the Holy Spirit. I decided it was time to do another teaching series on the Holy Spirit, as we don't want to neglect learning and knowing about Him.

Then I stopped and counted up all the people who have come into our church during the past six years. Almost 40% of our church fellowship have come to Lebanon within the past 6 years. That is awesome. But that means that those who have started with us since 2020 have not heard a teaching series on the Holy Spirit here at Lebanon. All this led me to decide that it is time to preach about the Holy Spirit again.

I am excited about sharing this series with you. As we go through it, I hope you will see why I decided to bring this series, and I hope the messages will encourage you as we become better acquainted with the Holy Spirit. My message this Sunday is entitled, "Who Is The Holy Spirit?"

Grace & Peace,

Dennis
