This Sunday I will be preaching through Acts 1:4-5, the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is an important doctrine for us to understand, but one of the most controversial. Some of the confusion lies in a failure to understand the uniqueness of Pentecost.
We could easily spend weeks studying what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit. Is He a force or a Person? Is He God or a creation of God? What is the difference between baptism, indwelling, filling, sealing, and gifts of the Holy Spirit?
I am going to attempt to answer these questions (and others) in one sermon on Sunday. So please pray for me. Thanks!

Praying for you. Can't wait to hear what God has to say through you. (So glad the sermons are online.)
Oooo...sounds really interesting. I have been reading John MacArthur's commentary and was amazed how much your last sermons have lined up with his thoughts.
The Holy Spirit was, I think, one of the things I was most confussed on as a child. I wonder if it is perhaps the most vulnerable to being mixed with human emotions and therefore misrepresented. Hmmm..
I really enjoyed your sermon last week. I will pray for you. I look forward to listening to your sermon next week. I am teaching this month.
