Doctrine of the Holy Spirit Jeremy Bell I. Who Is the Holy Spirit? II. What Does the Holy Spirit Do? A. The Holy Spirit Empowers B. The Holy Spirit Purifies C. The Spirit Reveals D. The Spirit Unites Questions for Discussion/Application *Consider taking time, before the discussion, for each person to silently read for themselves section 8 of the Sovereign Grace Statement of Faith. This should take about 10 minutes. *In reading the Statement of Faith, is there anything that immediately stands out to you or encourages you that you want to share with the group? *If someone were to ask you, “Who is the Holy Spirit?” what would you say? How would you respond? *In the outline above, review the major headings under “What Does the Holy Spirit Do?” Which of these ways that the Spirit is active do you find yourself today particularly grateful for? *“The Spirit Empowers.” What does this mean practically for our witness–both individually and corporately as a church? *“The Spirit Purifies.” How can this reality encourage us in our pursuit of sanctification? *“The Spirit Reveals.” Share about a time when the Holy Spirit illuminated scripture to your heart and you were encouraged and edified. *What are one or two ways you want to see more of the Spirit’s work in your own life? *Consider taking time to pray, asking God for more of the work of His Spirit in our own lives personally, as a Care Group and as a church.
