Spirit of God E11 — In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit fills Jesus’ followers at Pentecost; they are to be like a new temple of God’s presence and power. In addition to a temple, the Apostle Paul throws another metaphor into the mix: the community of believers as a body filled with the Spirit. But where did Paul get this image and what does it mean? In this episode, Tim and Jon explore the Church as a Spirit-filled body, empowered with the Spirit’s gifts to serve one another and the world. CHAPTERSRecap and Setup for the Church as a Body (0:00-11:01)The Church as a Spirit-Filled Temple and Body (11:01-25:57)The Spiritual Gifts of 1 Corinthians 12 (25:57-45:30)Conclusion (45:30-54:23)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode’s official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Grey” by Lofi Sunday feat.
