Know Your Bible – Lesson #1, “The True Work of the Holy Spirit”

Disciples’ Relation to the World – “26  “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,  27 and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.” John 15:26 NASB1995

A Bible study using the “Grace to You” pamphlets from John MacArthur. (These are stocked in the EBC library as reference starting points.)  The study includes a time for intercessory prayer.  This Bible study is an opportunity to dive into God’s Word, fellowship with other believers, and pray together.

Paul considers PRAYER paramount. Listing FOUR (4) types of prayer in 1 Timothy 2:1-3:

1. PETITIONS, Supplications – Tend to be prayers to divert evil and negative circumstances from the enemy of our souls;

2. (General) PRAYERS – Petitions for believer’s spiritual and material needs;

3. INTERCESSIONS – Prayers prayed on behalf of the needs of others;

4. THANKSGIVING, “Giving Thanks” – Comes from the Greek word “eucharistia”, which indicates praise to God in the form of being thankful to Him for His loving graces toward us.
