The Spirit Gives Gifts: 1 Corinthians 12 | Holy Spirit

The Heights Church - Sermons

The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 08/18/24 The Spirit Gives Gifts: 1 Corinthians 12 | Holy Spirit Corbin Hobbs The Holy Spirit has famously been called “the forgotten God.” Christians give a lot of attention to the Father who pursues and loves his prodigal children. We, of course, love Jesus who came and accomplished our salvation through a cross and resurrection. But when it comes to the Spirit many Christians are at a loss. The Spirit feels like the proverbial “third-wheel” on the trinitarian date. And much of this is because of the lack of good teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. But without the Holy Spirit, we cannot be adopted into the Fathers family or receive the forgiveness for our sins that Jesus accomplished on the cross. In the words of Father Ignatius Hazim, “Without the Holy Spirit, God is distant, Christ is in the past, the Gospel is a dead letter, the Church is simply an organization, authority is always domination, mission is propaganda, worship is the summoning of spirits, and Christian action is the morality of slaves.” We need the Holy Spirit. 07/28/24 - John 16:5-15 - It is Better 08/04 - John 3 - Are You Born Again? 08/11 - Galatians 5 - How to Change 08/18 - 1 Corinthians 12 - Gift-Giver 09/01 - Acts 1-2 - Empowerer for Mission For more information about The Heights Church, or to contact us, visit our website at TheHeightsDenver.com
