The Work

This series explores the work of the Spirit of God throughout Scripture and its continuing power in the life of believers today. From the wonders of the Old Testament to the teaching of Jesus, the writings of the apostles, and the exhortations of Paul, these classes trace how the Spirit has always been central to God’s purpose. Listeners are shown how the Spirit gives life, understanding, and strength, guiding disciples to walk faithfully and to reflect the mind of Christ. Together, the studies emphasize that the Spirit’s work is not distant history but an active force shaping the hearts and lives of those who seek God.

In Old Testament Times

The opening class examines how God’s Spirit worked in creation, in the lives of the patriarchs, and in the deliverance of Israel. Through signs, wonders, and the giving of the law, the Spirit established God’s authority and revealed His power, showing that He alone is God and calling His people to obedience and trust.

In the Days of Jesus and the Apostles

This study considers the Spirit’s work in preparing the way for Christ, in the ministry of John the Baptist, and in the life of Jesus himself. It highlights how the Spirit bore witness to Christ’s authority, empowered his teaching, and confirmed the apostles’ preaching with signs, yet always pointing believers to the true heart of discipleship: repentance, faith, and godliness.

In the Inspired Scriptures

Here the focus shifts to how the Spirit is revealed in the written word. The Scriptures, breathed out by God, are shown to be His enduring gift, able to teach, correct, and build up believers. This class underscores the transforming power of the word in shaping minds and producing the fruit of the Spirit in daily life.

The Apostle Paul in Romans 8 and Galatians 5

This class unpacks Paul’s profound teaching on the Spirit, contrasting life in the flesh with life in the Spirit. It explores how disciples are called to set their minds on spiritual things, to renounce the pull of the flesh, and to walk in newness of life, bearing the fruits of the Spirit as evidence of God’s work within them.

The Power That Worketh in Us

The study continues with Paul’s letters, emphasizing that God’s Spirit dwells in His people as a source of strength, unity, and renewal. Through the Spirit, believers share in the mind of Christ, experience fellowship with God, and are built together as His dwelling place, filled with hope and empowered for good works.

In the Epistles of the New Testament

The series concludes by tracing the Spirit’s work in the letters of the apostles. From exhortations to holiness, love, and integrity, to the comfort and guidance promised in times of trial, the Spirit is shown as God’s continuing presence in the life of the ecclesia. These final exhortations remind us that the Spirit’s purpose is to sanctify, to strengthen, and to prepare us for the coming kingdom.
