Conference attendees talk about their take-aways from the faculty lectures on the Holy Spirit.

Faculty speakers answer questions related to the Holy Spirit.

It is through the ordinary means of grace instituted by Christ that the Spirit brings about his extraordinary “new creation” in this present age.

This session addresses the conviction that the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for both the one preaching the sermon and the one hearing it.

Now in the new covenant the Spirit of God (who empowered Israel’s kings, prophets, and priests) distributes to all believers his diverse gifts, to enable every member of Christ’s body to serve others and foster the growth of the whole church.

Dr. Estelle discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in the Hebrew Bible: creating and recreating, writing, testifying to, and guiding the Hebrews

Not only is the Spirit present in our confessions, but we have overlooked a number of insights regarding the person and work of the Spirit as it appears in the confessions.

Montanus to Joachim of Fiore to Aimme Semple McPherson, Christians have been challenged to expect more from the Spirit. What does church history teach about such expectations and how should we react to them today?

The WSC faculty briefly describe who the Holy Spirit is in preparation for the 2016 Annual Conference.

“I will be looking particularly at those moments in the church when the Holy Spirit was viewed as doing extraordinary work.”

“The Holy Spirit works throughout scripture not only in ordinary ways, but through ordinary means both in providence and in saving grace.”

“The Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for understanding, for applying, and especially for the transforming of people into more Christ-likeness.”

“In every age the Holy Spirit has done his life giving work bringing spiritually dead people to life.”

Dr. Bryan D. Estelle gives a short preview of his Annual Conference 2016 lecture, “The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.”
