Message #90 - PNEUMATOLOGY - The Person & Work of the Holy Spirit (Part 19)

The Work of the Holy Spirit [Part E - The Gifts of the Holy Spirit #5 Regulating]

October 22, 2023 • Pastor Mark Geer • 1 Corinthians 12:1–11, 1 Corinthians 13:1–3, 1 Corinthians 14

Today we continue our Systematic Theology Series and the study of Pneumatology ~ which is the study of the Holy Spirit of God.

 

Pastor Mark Geer continues our detailed study of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and how these manifestations of God’s Spirit, wisdom and power are intended to empower us in our daily lives, anoint us for church ministry, and emboldened us for service to others in our community.


Today we examine the important steps of following Biblical guidelines related to the exercise of the gifts of the Spirit and the responsibility of regulating the gifts of the Spirit in the corporate gathering. While the Spirit sovereignly chooses whom He will work through and which gifts He will distribute to individual believers, the incarnational nature of these gifts in most cases necessarily involves the engagement of man. At times there can be excess, vain pride, human error, and even selfish motivation. Consequently, God saw fit to inspire Paul to write down various guidelines, disciplines, advice and commands regarding the exercise of the gifts in personal prayer and corporate worship settings. We look at these in today’s message.

 

Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology for Daily Living is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.


Message #106 - ECCLESIOLOGY - The Doctrine of the New Testament Church (Part 12)

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Mark Geer • Revelation 1:6, Mark 16:15, Matthew 24:4–14, 1 Timothy 4:1–3, Revelation 20:4–6

Today we pick up our Systematic Theology Series once again and continue our study of the topic of Ecclesiology ~ the study of the New Testament Church.   Pastor Mark Geer continues our examination of the purpose of the church with a look at “It’s Destiny” ~ how in spite of our greatest evangelistic efforts, the church will not convert the world. There will always be, according to Scripture, a large portion of humanity who will reject the gospel and Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It’s heartbreaking, but true. It rattles our emotions, invigorates our spirits, spurs us on to greater evangelism, and motivates us for a passionate pursuit of sharing the gospel to the ends of the earth! And this is good, right and noble. It is obedience to our calling. But in the end, the truth remains, the Church will not convert the entire world.   Nevertheless, the Church will occupy a place of blessing and honor in the world to come. God has great plans for His Bride and has prepared a wonderful destiny and future for those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. May this message motivate you for daily service in the work of the kingdom. Do not lose heart! And look to your destiny as a child of God and a part of the Church of Jesus.   Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology for Daily Living is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Message #105 - ECCLESIOLOGY - The Doctrine of the New Testament Church (Part 11)

April 21, 2024 • Pastor Mark Geer • John 18:10–37, Matthew 16:13–19, Matthew 18:15–18, Luke 22:35–53, Romans 13:1–7

Today we pick up our Systematic Theology Series once again and continue our study of the topic of Ecclesiology ~ the study of the New Testament Church.   Pastor Mark Geer continues our examination of the purpose of the church with a look at “It’s Power” promised by Jesus to engage in spiritual warfare, proclaim the good news message of the gospel, and to walk in the power of His Holy Spirit.   Today’s message specifically focuses on what Jesus meant by “The Keys to the Kingdom” and also how the Church is to respond to the power of the State and Government in our daily lives.   Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology for Daily Living is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.
