PP201 Why Johnny Can Preach

Evangelism, Holy Spirit

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 28:53 — 52.9MB)

Even though the baptism in the Spirit happened a long time ago at Pentecost, it has massive significance for Christian life today. Because the Lord Jesus Christ poured out his Spirit on his people 2,000 years ago, every Christian has the Holy Spirit living inside them as a permanent reality. And one of the things the Spirit does is help all of us—male and female, young and old—to be witnesses of Christ. Whether you’re with a friend on a study break, or getting ready to tell your testimony at a camp fire or gospel service, the Spirit of God can fill you with power to speak highly of Jesus Christ.

Acts 1:5-8; 2:1-21; Luke 3:16; 1Cor 12:13; Phil 1:18-19

What famous Christian wrote, “When I turn my eyes within,  all is dark, and vain, and wild;  Filled with unbelief and sin,  can I deem myself a child?” And could someone who struggled with doubts like that ever produce theologically profound poetic verse that would encourage Christians for centuries?

PP199 Why Johnny Can Pray

Holy Spirit, Local Church, Prayer

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 35:44 — 65.4MB)

Praying can be difficult at any time, especially when we’re praying out loud with others. But God has given us his Spirit to help us. The Holy Spirit convinces us of who we are in Christ, corrects our prayers before they reach the Father, and initiates the conversation through his inspired Word. The Spirit is the reason Johnny (and Jenni) can pray. Be sure to stick around till the end of the episode as Mike and Matthew close it out with some practical helps for young brothers who want to start praying publicly in the local church.

Scriptures Referenced:
Rom 8:15-17, 26-27; Eph 6:17-18; 2Sam 7:27
