Introduction to Blueprint series and Acts

00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome back to the Scripture Unfiltered series where we're covering what Pastor Ridley Barron is covering in our Blueprint series that we're having on the Book of Acts.

What is the Holy Spirit?

00:00:09
Speaker
This last Sunday, he preached about the Pentecost or the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts. So I thought it'd be fun to take a deep dive into the topic of the Holy Spirit himself, right? You say himself, not itself, because it is a person.
00:00:24
Speaker
Yes. And I had to Google it ahead of time because I was like, what is the study of the Holy Spirit? Like, what is that? I know, like, if you're studying Jesus, it's Christology, right? But I'm like, what is the study of the Holy Spirit? And I found out it was pneumatology, right? Which was that word you gave in the in the sermon, like, what is the Greek word for Holy Spirit? It's it's Numa, right? Which was what stands for what?

Language and terms for the Holy Spirit

00:00:47
Speaker
So the Greek word actually means something moved by breathing on or to be blown on or something like that, a moving of wind. And so it's still in the Greek originally means that if you're going to Greece to talk to somebody, that's what you're going to get. But the word is used like 250 times in the New Testament to refer to the Holy Spirit. Yep. I wonder if, is there a Hebrew word for Holy Spirit?
00:01:14
Speaker
Yes, there is. And if I was a good podcast person, I would know it. Surprise. Hard, hard, hard questions. That's a great, is it? Oh, you know what? I think it's Ruoc. Ruoc? That sounds familiar. Let's see. Hebrew.
00:01:34
Speaker
If I remember my Hebrew at all. Holy Spirit. Luckily, we're in front of computers. That's right. That sounds right. I have it written here. Even in English, I'm like, I don't know how to pronounce that. That sounds like what you said. Yes. Yes.

Holy Spirit in different denominations

00:01:47
Speaker
I think it's Ruach, which I think Ruach more is a kind of smoke, a vapor, a mist kind of that kind of thing. So it's slightly different, the original meaning of it, but it was used to refer to the work of the Holy Spirit, the person of the Holy Spirit.
00:02:02
Speaker
So I have a number of questions related to the Holy Spirit. And I feel like it's a really good topic to like do a deep dive into because we have so many backgrounds represented in our church coming from so many different denominations. Yes, some people are really into the Holy Spirit. Some people are like, Oh, yeah, that topic. Which back you came from, where the Holy Spirit sits, which is, I don't know, I came from the background that really treasures the Holy Spirit.
00:02:28
Speaker
So to me, I'm like, how can we not talk about the Holy Spirit? It's kind of a big deal. It's part of the Trinity. It's a major thing. Yes. But to kick off some like really basic question, but I find it's, it's kind of a profound question though. Like what is the Holy Spirit?

Role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity

00:02:42
Speaker
Like how do you define what the Holy Spirit is? We know it's part of the Trinity, but what does that mean? Right. It is the third part of the Trinity. It is, um, gosh, that's a great question. I don't think I've ever asked specifically, you know,
00:02:54
Speaker
It's the part that enables God to be in all people at all times. It is the force behind how our lives are transformed, our hearts are transformed. It performs so many different duties in our growing relationship with Christ from counselor to
00:03:16
Speaker
conscience with, you know, we refer to our conscience. That's really what we're referring to as our Holy Spirit working in us. He's a comforter. He's a giver of gifts. I mean, he just all kinds of things like that. But I mean, other than describing him as the third part of the Trinity, it's hard for me to know anything beyond that. You got any other answers for that?
00:03:38
Speaker
I can't remember what book this is in, but somebody quoted a theologian on an explanation of what the Holy Spirit is, and I read it, and I was like, oh, that makes sense. And then below that, they quoted C.S. Lewis's explanation of what the Holy Spirit was, and I'm like, now it's really hidden. Lewis always has a way of doing that, like bringing in the words that bring it. And I was literally just trying to Google search it to just read it because his way with words is better than me recapping what he said.
00:04:09
Speaker
In a paraphrase version, he essentially explained the Holy Spirit. Or first he talked about what a spirit was in general. He's like, if you ever walked into a room of people that were like-minded and going after a certain thing, you felt like something was different in this room. There was a tangibleness to their like-mindedness. It was almost like you could pull it out of the air. It was tangible.
00:04:30
Speaker
Sometimes you might go to a concert where everybody's singing in unison. It doesn't even have to be a Christian song because everybody's like, got this, this almost like they're all on the same tune. You know, kind of like when those vibration forks are tuned at the right level, it's like a frequency they're tuned into. And it's so powerful. You'd almost say there's a spirit there. It said the frequency at which the father and the son are working together is so strong and is so powerful that the spirit they have between it created a whole third person.
00:05:00
Speaker
called the Holy Spirit.

C.S. Lewis on the Holy Spirit

00:05:01
Speaker
It's so strong. So when you're communing with God and you're coming and going, you're made pure by the sun, and now you're in fellowship with God, you're experiencing that same spirit, that same connection, that same tuning of a kind. And that's what we call the Holy Spirit. It's a whole third person. I was like, huh. Hmm. Because I think we've all had those. I've been to some political rallies, even Republican political rallies, where I'm like, there's a spirit here.
00:05:28
Speaker
Yeah. And it's not, it's not the Holy Spirit. So I don't know how I feel about this place right now, but there's a like-mindedness and it's really strong and it's almost tangible. I ain't vibing with this, but I think I'm just going to go back to church because of the worship there. I know I'm like, ah, here's the Holy Spirit, but that's the best explanation I've ever had in the Holy Spirit. I was looking at this other quote here. I think this is from CS Lewis. The Holy Spirit isn't so much the one you look at as he is the one who turns you from looking at yourself.
00:05:56
Speaker
and your sin and turning you towards the Savior. It's pretty cool. Yeah, I mean, you know, the Holy Spirit, and this is a very poor example, but I use it a lot because I think it relates is that, you know, you walk into the family reunion and you see all these people you haven't seen in so long. And for some people, the Holy Spirit is that cousin you miss so much because you used to be really close or whatever.
00:06:21
Speaker
for others of us. He's like the drunk uncle that nobody wants to be connected to. And so we try not to talk to him. We try to stay away from him, but we know he's over there. I think it depends on your tradition, what you were taught as a kid or even as an immature believer that's beginning to develop your faith. We begin to formulate our ideas of the Holy Spirit based on those things.
00:06:41
Speaker
For most of us, sadly, we have to have our perspective on the Holy Spirit corrected because we just don't understand how important he is to our growth and our relationship with God himself. Why do you feel like the Holy Spirit is important?

Holy Spirit's impact on salvation

00:06:57
Speaker
I believe the Holy Spirit is the force behind our ability to be transformed in the image of Jesus Christ. Could God have done it a different way? Yeah, but this is the way God chose for it to happen, that when you and I begin
00:07:11
Speaker
the walk with God that we call our Christian faith, it's the Holy Spirit that begins that regeneration process in our hearts and continues it to the day we die. He's the one that's moving in and out of the areas of our heart, the different areas of our life to say, this is an area that still needs God's control. Here's an area that still needs repentance. And so he's literally the energy behind which we work to get to where we need to be.
00:07:39
Speaker
Can you be saved and not have the Holy Spirit? I don't think so, no. I think the Holy Spirit is a part of the transaction that takes place. We are incredibly miraculously transformed from being the ones who should have occupied the cross to the ones who are blessed by the one who did occupy the cross. And that's a miraculous thing that happens by the power of the Holy Spirit. So no, I don't think
00:08:07
Speaker
I think a lot of people can be very religious without the Holy Spirit. I don't think they can be a true follower of Christ without the Holy Spirit. Just makes me think you could probably have the Holy Spirit working on you. I mean, because it would make sense like the Holy Spirit is working on you before you came to a point of salvation. Yes. Which means essentially you can not have
00:08:27
Speaker
But the holy spirit's around working working with you before you're even safe. So there's many unbelievers that Have the evidence the holy spirit working in them, right? Maybe that's a great point to make damn because I I do believe it is the holy spirit that draws us to christ for that initial salvation experience so Not occupying our heart but working on our heart is the pre-salvation work of the holy spirit but once we
00:08:54
Speaker
Maybe that's what we mean when we say we invite Jesus into our heart. It's actually the Holy Spirit that's coming in who's occupying us. Not our physical heart, obviously, that's a physical translation and transition. And what we're talking about is very much a spiritual transition, but the Holy Spirit coming in and beginning to do His work on our inner being and work on our soul and our spirit.

Recognizing the Holy Spirit in life

00:09:15
Speaker
So is it's like you can't have these this fruit in your life. You can't even have salvation without the work of the Holy Spirit. Yet there's many Christians that don't they don't really focus on the Holy Spirit hardly ever talk to it. Talk to the Holy Spirit or like there's just not a lot they hardly ever think or talk to the Holy Spirit. So but still they have fruit in their lives so that the Holy Spirit is working. They're talking to God. Is there any like
00:09:40
Speaker
Is there any consequence to not even thinking about the Holy Spirit as a separate entity? Yeah, I think so. I think what we're talking about, what you're describing here is the trap that the Galatians fell into that Paul warned them about. You know, he says you started out by faith and now you're falling back towards works.
00:09:55
Speaker
I think if we don't have a daily interaction and ongoing conversation and communication with the Holy Spirit, that it causes us to fall back on our ability, our ability to perform good works, to maintain our relationship with God. Whereas the Holy Spirit is the power by which we are able to work out our salvation as Paul describes it. So how do you do that practically?
00:10:24
Speaker
Because beyond mentioning a more in conversation, like what does it look like to incorporate or to actively pursue the Holy Spirit separately from the Father or the Son? Yeah, I think it goes back to what you kind of almost you almost spoke this just a minute ago, this intentionality about
00:10:42
Speaker
beginning every day a conversation with the Holy Spirit about an invitation to do your work in me. I want to surrender to what you want to do in me. I want to surrender to whatever the next steps may be in refining me and regenerating me and sanctifying me. And so I think it starts with a real awareness that there is a Holy Spirit that wants to do a work in you. And then, I mean,
00:11:10
Speaker
Just like any other person who listens to what they call their conscience, you begin to listen for that voice that's telling you, hey, here's an area where we need to do some work. Hey, don't forget you need to be in God's word listening to his teaching. Hey, here's a place where you can be an encouragement to somebody. Listen to my encouragement for you to go do that.
00:11:31
Speaker
It's like so many other things in life. The more you do it, the more you become familiar with it, the easier it is to recognize where the Holy Spirit's working in your life. So I would say start every day with a conversation with the Holy Spirit saying, hey, whatever you got to do today, I want to listen. Do your work. You should pray to the Holy Spirit. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I hear some people who say you're supposed to pray to God in Jesus' name by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that's the way it works.
00:11:59
Speaker
Okay, that's a drawing a very fine line because we know that they are three in one. I don't have a problem with people who prayed to Jesus. I don't like Holy Spirit's the power line. Jesus is the coin you paid for it. And God's on the other end. Right. Well, I think, I think absolutely you can pray to the Holy Spirit. I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. Maybe that's, maybe that's part of what we're missing is that we,
00:12:26
Speaker
We just, we, it's almost like, again, he's kind of stuck over here on the shelf and we never really even consult him as part of the process of refinement. A long time ago, I think.
00:12:39
Speaker
I don't remember where this started for me, but when I was probably 19 or 20, I'd go for these long, like prayer walks and something happened where like I'd started like associating like the wind with the Holy Spirit. The Bible versus like he rides the wings of the winds kind of were like in my mind rattling in there at some point. Yeah. So now it's like oftentimes if I'm like, like actually still and not like trying to be still or something or not particularly focused on something every once in a while, a breeze will catch me and I'll be like,
00:13:08
Speaker
What spirit's at you? I must associate the wind with the Holy Spirit now pretty

Spiritual gifts versus talents

00:13:14
Speaker
frequently. Every time the wind blows is God there? Well, it's like, well, kinda. But it's mainly just a little funny thing between me and my relationship with God now. Kind of like you probably have with other friends or your spouse or something like that. I do think that God is kind enough to do that kind of stuff for us, to give us those gentle nudges throughout the day that remind us of
00:13:38
Speaker
His presence, His awareness of us, His desire for us. So yeah, I mean, could be the wind, could be the rustle of the leaves. I know a guy who told me once, he said, man, I am drawn. He said, don't mistake me for a pyromaniac. I'm not going to burn down any buildings or anything. He said, but I am drawn to flames because flames make me think of God.
00:14:06
Speaker
And I thought, that's pretty cool. He would drop a hat, would go light up a campfire and sit by it and just meditate. It's pretty cool. Do you have any like inside jokes with God? You know what I'm saying? Are there things that you're like, God and I have a thing over this? No, I honestly don't think I do. I may have had some in the past that I've forgotten about, but no.
00:14:33
Speaker
No, not right now. Maybe I need to come up with some more reminders throughout the day. Maybe every time my dog nudges me with his brown nose, it's the Holy Spirit coming to say, okay, you're wasting your time. Not that they need to happen, but I've heard it a few times. Just like close friends have little inside things because they went on a road trip once and now every time that thing happens, you're like, there it is again.
00:15:01
Speaker
We've talked about this before in our sermons in the past. One of the prevalent reminders we see all the way through scripture that God tells us is to remember, to remember, to remember. And so because he knows what kind of people we are, he was always telling, especially the Hebrew people in the Old Testament,
00:15:17
Speaker
set up this thing to be a reminder for you. Sometimes it was a pillar. Sometimes it was a pile of stone. Sometimes it was an altar. And all those things were always just to not only remind you of God's work in your life, but also to remind you to tell the generations that follow what does God done and what does he doing and how can we see him at work? What's the evidence that somebody has the Holy Spirit active in their life? I would say it is the constant, consistent production of fruit.
00:15:45
Speaker
those fruit that we talk about, the fruit of the spirit in Galatians, you know, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. We like to sing the songs and we like to talk about those things.
00:15:58
Speaker
And you talked about this this past year on the mentor sheet, measuring the gain in those things, measuring the gain and am I more a loving person? Am I more kind to people around me? Do I find greater time for being still before God and displaying patience as he's working in my life? Those kinds of things. I have said this before, with your relationship with Christ, you're either growing or you're dying. There is no sitting still.
00:16:25
Speaker
So it doesn't mean that all nine fruit are all constantly growing, but maybe in certain areas you're seeing things where God's done it. I remember back when I was in college, one of the things I was praying most about was that God would develop more patience in me. And so instead of just zapping me with his finger and saying, here's your patience, he sent me to work at a kid's camp also. And so I was forced to develop patience, you know, and he was kind enough to answer that prayer request.
00:16:54
Speaker
One of the things that often gets tied up with the Holy Spirit is, is it the gifts of the Spirit? I kind of find it interesting, like, why, why are the gifts tied to the Holy Spirit? Like, why aren't they just the gifts or the, the attributes or the ways in which you can serve? Yeah. We've tied them to the Holy Spirit. Yeah. I don't know if I have a good answer to that other than.
00:17:18
Speaker
God was just being very practical in that He knew the Holy Spirit would be the active force inside of us, working on us and working in us. So wouldn't it be natural that the gifts He expects us to use to build up the body would be attached to the Spirit that's working inside of us? I also think it's important we differentiate between gifts of the Spirit versus talents.
00:17:43
Speaker
Cause one comes from the Holy Spirit, the other one can be developed yourself. I mean, I can, I can learn how to play the piano. That doesn't mean the Holy Spirit is necessarily involved in that situation, but you could have the, you know, the talent of teaching, but it's not necessarily the gift of the Holy Spirit, but what differentiates the two then.
00:18:02
Speaker
I think to me, and this is probably, I don't know if this could be backed up or verified, it's just my thought. To me, talents are something you can, by your own actions, develop and grow for the most part, but gifts of the spirit have to be grown and developed in cooperation with the spirit working in your life. So again, drawing is a great example. Drawing is not a spiritual gift.
00:18:28
Speaker
You can learn to draw, you can go take art classes, you can go to the community center and take a class on how to paint with watercolors or whatever. But serving, you gotta have the Holy Spirit working in your life to help you learn how to be a true servant to other people.
00:18:45
Speaker
It's, it's the ones that have the most overlap, like speaking in tongues of prophecy, I'm like, those are, I mean, speaking in tongues specifically is kind of like a uniquely Christian thing. Right. The prophecy, you might be shared by some other religions, but like teaching leadership administration serving, like there's many people who do these things outside of it, but I almost wonder even in just talking to it, I'm like, I wonder if the differentiation is that without the Holy Spirit, these things cannot be used to
00:19:10
Speaker
have a spiritual yield or a fruit of kind. If you don't have the Holy Spirit working in you, working through those things, your teaching will not multiply spiritual fruit. You could still teach someone how to draw, and you might be dang good at it. You might be great at teaching people how to draw, and there's lots of those people out there, but if you are a teacher of the Holy Spirit, then you can teach someone how to grow spiritually. That's a totally different thing, and you probably can't do it well unless you have the Holy Spirit.
00:19:41
Speaker
I have great description because if you're not operating out of the power of the Holy Spirit, then can you truly elicit from other people and draw out from them their own spiritual gifts, their own applications of those gifts in their life?

How to build a relationship with the Holy Spirit

00:19:59
Speaker
A leader can teach somebody to lead, but can a leader teach somebody how to be a spiritual leader? No. Probably not. Yeah, probably not. So yeah.
00:20:11
Speaker
And there's a lot of that kind of stuff. I think we spend a lot of time trying to figure out and God's going, quit spending so much time trying to figure it out and just do it, you know, just take what I've given you, these passions, these talents, these skills, these gifts, and use them for me. And as you hone those skills and sharpen those skills, you'll find out more about them that way than you would just by sitting down and doing a study on it.
00:20:34
Speaker
And I think the practical takeaway from this, I think when you're talking about the Holy Spirit, the biggest thing that comes to my mind as far as like how do you cultivate a relationship with the Spirit comes back to prayer. Of course, reading the Bible like we always come back to like reading the Bible is probably like the first and primary Christian discipline. Like if you do anything else, this is probably the critical one, you'll be
00:20:53
Speaker
You'll be a kind of an anemic believer if all you do is read the Bible and none of the other disciplines, but it's the best place to start. I agree. The next best one, of course, the layer on top of that is prayer because that's where the active relationship part comes. That's where the Holy Spirit comes into play. Even when reading the Bible, praying for revelation and the Holy Spirit to guide you becomes an active dynamic thing. Yeah, I agree with that. I think in the priority that that's the right order, because the truth is every religion in the world has prayer as part of their religion.
00:21:23
Speaker
but every other religion in the world isn't blessed with the truth that the gospel is for us, the word of God. And so establishing our lives on the foundation of the word, which gives us about 95 to 97% of what we need to know about our relationship with God, incorporating that with the prayer that you just said, the prayer of revelation. God, show me what this book means for my life personally and how I'm supposed to implement it in my life. What are some things people can do to start building
00:21:49
Speaker
essentially building a stronger familiarity with the Holy Spirit like this week. I would start. I mean, this is a great place to start this day and age. We're blessed to have this. Go online and look for a free spiritual guest test. Take it. Just be objective and let the wisdom of these men or women who have put these tests together
00:22:11
Speaker
guide you to begin to uncover some of who you are. It's kind of like going to the beach and brushing back the sand and finding a really beautiful seashell or something like that. It begins to give you a place to start and then dig into Romans 12 and I think it's Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 that have the two best lists of
00:22:30
Speaker
the spiritual gifts that are out there. I don't think those are exhaustive necessarily. Some scholars argue they are. Others say that they're just not all inclusive. They're just a really good list. And that can begin to explore that.
00:22:45
Speaker
Are you checking my reference? Was it first Corinthians 12? No, I was pulling up the link to the spiritual gifts test, which we've linked to this before. It's the life way one. So I'm going to link to that one again. I'm just grabbing it before I forget. Yeah. And if you're a member of Grove Hill church, keep your eyes open over the next three or four months, we will be rolling out a new assessment. There's going to be, um, not just spiritual gifts, but personality and, uh, skills, that kind of stuff where you can wrap them all three together and go, okay,
00:23:12
Speaker
Here's how I find a great place to serve my church or to serve my community by putting all three of these things together and begin to discover who I am and what God created me to be. Is there anything else people should be doing this week? Start with the spiritual gifts test or wait for the one that we got rolling out. I think if you've got an idea in mind, even as undeveloped as it might be, if you've got an idea in mind of what you think your spiritual gifts are, begin to put yourself in positions where you can try to practice those gifts.
00:23:42
Speaker
You know, if your gift is serviced, then find a team at your church where you can go out and begin to serve other people and see if that really is a good fit. I am 100% convinced if you have received the spiritual gift of anything, it will not be a labor for you to try to make it be used. I hear people all the time go, I'm sure my gift is this, but I just can't find a place to use it. And I'm like, well, then it's not your gift.
00:24:06
Speaker
It's not your gift. I don't think God wants it to be hard for you to use your gift. I think sometimes we force our preferences on God and say, I sure wish this was my gift. And God says, not everybody can be a preacher, not everybody can be an evangelist, not everybody can be a teacher. And so I had to learn that lesson because I really wanted to have the gift of evangelism. I don't have the gift of evangelism. I can evangelize and I can share my faith with other people. All of us are called to do that.
00:24:37
Speaker
But my gift is not evangelism. My gifts are prophecy, preaching, teaching, giving. And the way I recognize that wasn't a spiritual gift test, it was really the list. And somebody looked at me going, that describes you, that describes you, that describes you. And that's a good place to also to get that kind of information, just your accountability, people who really know your heart.
00:24:57
Speaker
Yep. A few good friends, spouse, have them fill out the thing for you and then you kind of rank stack them that way. Spouse is always... Everyone's agreeing that you got this thing and you don't have this other thing, then it's probably true. Spouse is always a great place to start. And here's where I want to encourage you. Spouses speak truth to your spouse about this. Don't try to puff them up in an area where it's not truly who they are because you create exasperation for them. Um, if they're trying to pursue something, God didn't create them to be.
00:25:26
Speaker
Well, fantastic. So many different things I've learned about the Holy Spirit and even just talking about them in this conversation. And I hope we only grow in our understanding of the Holy Spirit because the more you understand the Holy Spirit, you're like, what are we talking about? We're talking about God, which is the goal of all of our goals should be is to know and truly know God dynamically
00:25:48
Speaker
intimately, and the better we can know him, the more we can understand how he thinks and what he wants, and his desires, and the more we can align with his desires. So, pneumatology. Let me, one word of caution as we're wrapping this up today, you know, lots of people in the church, especially here in America with some of the songs we sing, the books we read, the prayers we pray,

We talk about we want to see a move of God. We want to see the Holy Spirit do his thing. We'll sing songs like Holy Spirit Rain Down. Those kinds of things. Those are all great. But the Holy Spirit really isn't going to move in your church until you let them move in your heart. I think it's a personal thing that's got to start first. And then when you get five, six, ten people in your church really letting the Holy Spirit take control of who they are, then you'll see the Holy Spirit start to show up on your Sundays and your Wednesday nights and in your D groups.

Because again, the spirit starts to get concentrated and people, that's the fun part about it is like people get caught in that spirit. And that's when it starts to get fun. You might not even be having a strong experience, but if everyone around you is, then it's tangible. And in this part, it's totally, and it's powerful based on real power.
