When The Spirit Supplies

Part 4

June 26, 2022 • Dr. Lance D. Watson • Philippians 1:19

Philippians is Paul’s most upbeat letter! It radiates with joy in the Lord and with love for God’s people. Paul’s joy, even though he is in prison, flows from his awareness of the presence of Jesus, his confidence that he is in Christ’s hands, his pleasure over the advancement of the gospel, and his single-minded desire to know Jesus. His concern is that the Philippians reflect these same attitudes which were to be demonstrated through a lifestyle of mutual service, steadfastness in the truth, and dedication to the things of Christ.

When The Spirit Liberates

July 24, 2022 • Dr. Lance D. Watson • Exodus 4:14–21

It’s a rip-roaring narrative! It’s this part of the Bible that has generated those memorable scenes of Charlton Heston as Moses in the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille classic movie The Ten Commandments. Led by Moses, Israel marched triumphantly out of Egypt—they were emancipated. BUT Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them with horses and chariots. Helpless, trapped against the shores of the Red Sea: they cry out. With the chariots of angry Pharaoh bearing down on them. Moses declares ‘The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.’ However, it takes all night for the sea to open and the way to be made. We are Saint Paul’s Everywhere!

When The Spirit Disrupts

July 17, 2022 • Dr. Lance D. Watson • Acts 4:1–2

The Holy Spirit shows up through Peter and John in Acts 3 as a disrupter. The Holy Spirit disrupts the plain, predictable pattern of suffering and reconstructs it. In Acts 4, the lame man in his forties had already been healed at the gate of the temple by the power of God. The religious authorities confront them, incarcerate them, and threaten them with consequences if they continue in this way. Bold and courageous, Peter and John, full of the Spirit reinforce their commitment to continue as the Holy Spirit directs them. Our challenge is to do the same in this hour.

When The Spirit Gifts

July 10, 2022 • Dr. Lance D. Watson • Romans 12:6–8

Few subjects conjure as much controversy as that of spiritual gifts. Different authors define the various gifts in different ways. There is debate over whether all the gifts are still functioning today, or whether some were “sign” gifts that ceased after the apostolic era. However, God through the Holy Spirit continues to “gift” those that trust God by adding some “super” to their “natural” and enabling them to achieve what was not otherwise possible.
