THE
HOLY SPIRIT
THE GIVER OF LIFE
Week 1: Who Is the Holy Spirit? | Introduction to the Spirit and Scripture
In this first session of our new midweek series on the Holy Spirit, Pastor Matt Ayars introduces the doctrine of the Holy Spirit—also known as pneumatology—with biblical clarity and pastoral warmth. Why study the Holy Spirit after Easter? Because the resurrection leads us toward Pentecost—the outpouring of the Spirit and the birth of the Church.
Lesson 2 – Genesis: Sovereignty, Providence, and the Image of God
Join us for a deep dive into the foundational truths of Genesis in this Bible study. Explore the origins of humanity, marriage, sin, and God’s people, and discover how these themes reveal the sovereignty and providence of God. This study unpacks key theological concepts such as the image of God, divine providence, and humanity’s purpose in creation.
Lesson 3 – The Mysterious Story of Genesis 6:1–4: Who Were the Nephillim?
Join us for an in-depth Bible study on Genesis 6:1-4 as we explore the mysterious story of the Nephilim, the “sons of God,” and the theological debates surrounding them. Drawing from Scripture, historical traditions, and early church writings, we’ll unpack different interpretations, including their connection to fallen angels, ancient giants, and God’s judgment. Discover how this passage shapes our understanding of biblical history and spiritual warfare!
Lesson 4 – Noah as the Second Adam, the Tower of Babel, and Human Rebellion
In this session, we explore the theological significance of mystery, the importance of trust in our faith, and the recurring cycle of human failure and divine redemption. Beginning with Noah’s post-flood story, we examine his role as a “second Adam,” the troubling events surrounding his son Ham, and what they reveal about original sin. We then unpack the Tower of Babel, its implications for human pride and divine judgment, and how Pentecost reverses its curse.
Lesson 5 – Covenant, Saving Faith, and Entire Sanctification
Explore Genesis 15 and the powerful covenant between God and Abraham in this in-depth Bible study. Learn how faith is counted as righteousness, the meaning behind the smoking fire pot, and how God’s promises are ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Plus, discover what it means to live a holy life and trust in God’s timing. Watch now for biblical insight and encouragement!
Lesson 6 – Intercession, Judgment, and Resolved Faith
What does Genesis 18–19 teach us about intercession, judgment, and God’s mercy? In this deep dive into the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, we explore Abraham’s role as an intercessor, God’s justice in dealing with sin, and Lot’s struggle with compromise. How does this passage point to Jesus as our ultimate mediator? Why is urgency in following God so important? Join us as we unpack these critical themes and their implications for our faith today.
