Trinity Pulpit

We tend to imagine the Holy Spirit had little to do with creation, redemption and the end of the Age. Actually, the Holy Spirit has been involved with the work of God the Father and the Son in this world since the very beginning. This sermon shows how the Holy Spirit has been an integral part of God’s work from the beginning to the very end. His most magnificent deed was the overshadowing of Mary to cause the Incarnation to occur and He will do a mighty work at the end of time by raising us all from the dead, in the same way He resurrected Jesus. This sermon shows in broad sweeps the power and work of the Holy Spirit, the most forgotten but the most involved Person of the Trinity.

Synopsis ►

The Holy Spirit doesn’t get enough credit.  But since before the beginning of time, this Essence of the Godhead has been involved in transforming, sanctifying, and reclaiming.  The Holy Spirit is likened to a transformer:  just like a coffee maker couldn’t be directly linked up to a major power line running along the countryside, we need the immense creative power emanating from the Father brought down to a level we can interact with.  That is the doing of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit was with the Father and the Son at Creation, in the Garden, at the Annunciation, Conception & Birth of Our Lord, in the desert with Christ being tempted, in Gethsemane, in the tomb with Christ as His lifeless body was reenergized, and even at our own entombment and regeneration.  As Christ turned the Church of One into a church of thirteen, then of hundreds, then thousands at Pentecost and beyond, the Holy Spirit was there, transforming this Creation, and so doing, reclaiming it.
