10 Works of the Spirit

There is so much more information in the notes of the sermon from Sunday.  I am posting the notes here.  This outline is from the AD series and this sermon is by George Wood with a few additions from me.  To listen to this sermon click on the LSC media page.


Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

For most of my upbringing as a kid in Missouri who carried the title Christian, the Holy Spirit was just a line in the liturgy.

“We believe in the Holy Spirit.”
For many who believe that the work of the Holy Spirit changed after the first century, the Holy Spirit is a purposeless theological mystery.


But the Holy Spirit is not just a mystery or idea.  The Holy Spirit is a person who is  and has been working practically and purposefully.
-From the beginning, Scripture says, “The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:2).
-In the Old Testament, we frequently read about the actions of the Holy Spirit. He would come upon people, such as judges, kings, and prophets.
-In the New Testament, the Spirit of God conceived Jesus in the womb of Mary (Luke 1:35).
-He descended upon Jesus bodily as a dove at His baptism (Luke 3:22).
-He anointed His preaching ministry (Luke 4:16).
-And the Holy Spirit gave Jesus supernatural power to perform signs and wonders (Matthew 12:28).
