Preaching from Ben Fleming

Since the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, the Spirit of God operates within His people, with eternal ramifications. The Apostle Paul outlines the ministry of the Spirit in us for regeneration, sanctification, and assurance.

The miraculous manifestations of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost call back to Old Testament moments that represented failure. The pillar of fire that led the people into the wilderness is now the flame that leads each believer in the world. The scattering at Babel is remedied with the Gospel spoken in every language on the streets of Jerusalem. The 3,000 lost in the wilderness rebellion are juxtaposed to the 3,000 saved when the Holy Spirit is poured out. If God can rewrite those endings, what might he do for us today?

On His way to Jerusalem, Jesus boldly overturns convention to express the mercy and welcome of the Father to broken, hurting people.

Living out of a cruciformity to the cross of Christ challenges America’s individualism and judgementalism toward others. It informs how we live in community, our commitment to the weak and marginalized, and our response to enemies.

Worship is not coerced from anyone. True worship is always voluntary. Our worship is somewhat akin to what we do when we have free time, or what we spend money on when we have extra. Worship happens when we want it to. Why do we do this? What does it do for us?

It’s tempting to think of “peace” as an exercise in quiet. Bad guys and good guys alike have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of this still, silent landscape of being. This begs the question, “What is the Prince of Peace actually after?” The answer is wholeness. A reconciling of all creation to himself.

Jesus is tempted in the desert with safety, influence and political power; or, the most common desires of the world. Over the last generation or so, the evangelical church has been more adept at endorsing these dominant desires and is in need of recovering its true form and beauty.
