Use these questions on your own or with a friend to help you apply Wednesday night’s message to your life.

Ben launched our series “Prophetic” tonight with these three thoughts from Isaiah 53:
- Isaiah tells us about Christ’s suffering
- Isaiah tells us about Christ’s redemption
- Isaiah tells us about Christ’s resurrection

Questions:
What are some expectations you place on who Jesus is?
How have those expectations changed as you’ve gotten to know Him more?
Why do you think Jesus had to suffer?
Define “redemption” in your own words.
Why is Jesus’ blood so critical to our knowing God? (HINT: Leviticus 17:11)
How does Jesus’ resurrection make a difference in your life?
What needs to change in the way you view Jesus?

Use these questions on your own or with a friend to help you apply Wednesday night’s message to your life.

Tonight we finished our series on the Trinity.  The message tonight was based on the Holy Spirit.

Mike’s Notes

The Holy Spirit:

• Lives in every believer
• Helps us
• Teaches and reminds us
• Gives us power
• Prays for us
• Gives spiritual gifts

Questions

• How does the Holy Spirit help us?  How does it encourage us?
• Why do we need guidance from the Holy Spirit to understand the scriptures?
• In what ways has the Holy Spirit reminded you of something/convicted you of something?
• Why do we have such a hard time relying on the power of God?
• Have you ever felt like you were running on empty? What made you feel this way? Tonight Mike mentioned a book by Doug Fields titled Refuel. If you are feeling drained and burnt out maybe this book you should check out.
• Why do we need the Holy Spirit to intercede on our behalf?
• Do you know what your spiritual gifts are?  Check out this site if you need to see a list and description of the different spiritual gifts listed in the Bible. http://mintools.com/gifts-list.htm
• What can you do this week to rely on the Holy Spirit or to listen to the Holy Spirit more?  Make sure you do it!!!
