      19840422pm Holy Spirit As Tree - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What does a #tree represent to you?  Trees are mentioned throughout the Bible.  They give #shade, #fruit, #wood for construction and even life giving oxygen.  There is even a whole industry dedicated to making fake trees.  Have you ever seen a tree that produces nine different fruits?  What kind of love does the Holy Spirit produce in believers?  Why is it important that love is the first fruit mentioned?  How does the Holy Spirit use this love to produce peace?  What other fruits does He produce in believers?  How can you become a believer and plant this type of tree?  And how do you tend to this tree once you have planted it?

Who doesn’t like a good #comforter?  The Bible calls the #HolySpirit the Great Comforter.  Another translation of that phrase in the Bible is #Counselor, #advocate, or #helper.  Who helps us stand up in front of the ultimate judge?  Why do we need help in front of God?  What does the Holy Spirit have in common with a great trial lawyer?

I hope everybody had a great #Father’sDay.  This message gives new meaning to the term #BigOil.  Back in biblical times oil was already being used for energy. heating, cooking, and light.  How does the Holy Spirit light up the life of Christians?  Why is it important to have enough oil?  What was used by the people of Israel to anoint a priest?  What did this precious liquid have to do with healing sickness?

When is the #wind more than just an atmospheric disturbance?  #GentleBreeze to #Hurricane, there are many differences in the strength of gusts of air.  #Breath is another variation of wind, and yet God can be seen in all of these.  What does the Bible say about the breath of God?  What happened when Jesus breathed on the disciples?  What happened when the Holy Spirit was fully given at the Pentecost?

Holy Spirit as Fire

      19840311pm Holy Spirit As Fire - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Last week, we looked at the #Holy #Spirit appearing as a dove.  What other ways did the Holy Spirt appear in the #Bible?  One of those symbols was #fire in both the Old and the New Testament.  Fire can relax or consume, warm or burn.  It just depends on the intention.  What other parallels work with the Spirit of God?  Can fire cleanse?  How about its use in cooking?  Can it cheer, condition, combine, or combust?

Who is the #HolySpirit?  Probably the least discussed and possibly the least understood part of the #Triune #God.  Today, we start a series of messages looking at references to the Holy Spirit and what we can learn from them.  What is the first mention of the Holy Spirit in the Bible?  Was it in the New Testament or the Old Testament?  When did the Spirit of God appear as a dove?  Was it more than once?  Why would God’s Spirit choose to appear as a dove?  What are the parallels?

Have you ever been to a #restaurant that served #bread before the meal, and it was so good you just had to eat there again #cheddarbiscuits?  Is there a better bread, one that gives eternal life?  Now I am not saying communion saves your soul.  But, rather the sacrifice represented by this sacrament makes it possible to be forgiven.  What do the elements represent?  What should communion mean to us?  What is our part in this ceremony and what is God’s part?
