10 Tweets on “The Holy Spirit & the Story of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10-16)
Here's the sermon in 10 Tweets in our The Letter to the Corinthians series.
1/ We all live in a story.
2/ We can’t know the better story—the story of God—or really understand it or live in it well aside from the work of the Holy Spirit.
3/ The Holy Spirit reveals the story of God—the gospel.
4/ “The gospel is the message that God himself has come to rescue and renew creation in and through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf.”
5/ The Spirit knows God’s thoughts, so he can communicate God’s plan. He intimately knows the story that is unfolding.
6/ The Holy Spirit helps us understand the story of God.
7/ He guides you into the story and through it so that you own it and believe it and want to live by it.
8/ The Holy Spirit helps us live within the unfolding story of God.
9/ We have the mind of Christ—access to Christ’s thoughts, his intentions, his plans for the world and for each one of us.
10/ We resist the better story. And this doesn’t happen simply because it’s hard to believe it’s true but because it’s hard to live the truth.
