Sermon 7-14-02 Work of the Holy Spirit part 3
John 16:13/John 14:6

Kierkegaard once said, "Oh, would that there was truth in the intercourse between men! One man defends Christianity, another attacks it and in the end, if one examines their lives, neither of them bothers very much about it."Holy spirit

Apology

Nature of Truth
If God is a square, he does not become a triangle to accommodate your way of thinking

Catholic spirit [essentials, think and let think]

Sources of Truth
Wesleyan Quadrilateral [scripture, tradition, reason, and experience]

What are the essential truths
There are some black and white for a Christian, but not as many as you think

Essential truth [s]
I am the way the truth and the life
Do not use this as an excuse not to grow

Branching out
Be careful….attitude
Be careful….forget your focus
Paul and appollos
Do we become exclusive, arrogant
Or do we become those who are filled with love

Power of holy spirit to change your life
Believe in God
Believe in the power of God to help you

Holy spirit makes you sweet

1 jn 4 7-8 – beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God He that loveth not knoweth not god for God is love
