Summary

(Acts 8:31-35) The Holy Spirit equips believers to carry the good news of Jesus wherever the Spirit leads. Using Philip the Evangelist and the account of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 as a focal point, we see the Spirit’s primary objective is to reveal Christ and empower ordinary Christians to share the gospel.

0:00.0	The good news of the gospel is only good news to those who hear it.
0:11.6	Philip the evangelist understood that. He did not keep the message to himself, but he went
0:17.0	wherever the spirit of God led him, and he preached Christ to those who needed to know.
0:23.0	In this study that Scott is calling the gospel Christian, he reminds us that the word gospel
0:28.8	means good news. It even has the word go in it, reminding us that the Christian life is meant
0:36.3	to advance the gospel message.
0:39.1	Join Scott Pauley today as we learn what it means to be a true gospel Christian.
0:48.0	The gospel Christian lives in obedience to and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
0:55.6	The Gospel Christian understands that it was the Holy Spirit of God that brought him to Jesus.
1:00.5	It is the Holy Spirit of God that guides him and sustains him every day,
1:04.5	and it is the Holy Spirit of God who will enable Him to share Christ with other people.
1:15.4	Philip, the evangelist, the gospel Christian, was indeed a man who knew the Holy Spirit of God. We've talked already about his openness to the Holy Spirit
1:22.2	and his obedience to the Holy Spirit, but I want to talk to you today, if I may, about the objective
1:28.8	of the Holy Spirit. Why did God send His Holy Spirit? Why do we have the Holy Spirit? Now,
1:36.7	one of the most beautiful titles for the Holy Spirit in Scripture is the Comforter. Don't you
1:42.5	love that? The Comforter has come, but it might interest you to know
1:47.0	that that word comforter is a word that we get our word guide from. He is one who comes alongside
1:54.8	to help us, not just to help us feel better. Lots of people want the Holy Spirit as the comforter and not as the counselor.
2:02.8	But Jesus said in John chapter number 16 in verse number 15,
2:07.3	all things that the Father hath their mind,
2:10.0	therefore said I that He, that's the Holy Spirit, shall take of mine
2:13.4	and shall show it unto you.
