Walking with Our Triune God – God the Holy Spirit: He is Teacher

November 28, 2021 by Rachel Briner, The Church
Passages:John 16:12-15, Titus 3:4-7, Ephesians 1:11-14, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5,10-13

Sermon Synopsis

Everything we do flows from who we are. Knowing God – truly knowing our Creator in His Triune Nature – empowers us to truly know what it means to walk with God.
As 1 John 2:1-6 reminds us, our lives are set free from sin by the payment of God the Son, Jesus Christ the righteous. As we are set free, we know our freedom is true by truly knowing our God. If we know Him, we will increasingly walk with Him and walk as He does. Our obedience to love God, honor people, and share the Gospel with neighborhoods and nations flows from an encounter with the Living God, an encounter with the Gospel.

Join us as we spend 4 months (September – December, 2021) honing in on the 3 Persons of the God-Head, the Trinity, our Triune God. Read along daily as we look at God the Son through 1 John. Dive in deep as Genesis guides us through the heart of God the Father. Yield yourself daily to the Holy Spirit as we grow to know Him through a survey of the New Testament. 

John 16:12–15

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Titus 3:4–7

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Ephesians 1:11–14

11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

1 Corinthians 2:1–5

2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:10–13

10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
