15. Windows of the Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the life of the Church, not just in the background, but also in the demonstration of power. God is power in our lives, but that power moves in very specific ways among us together as the Church.The gifts, ministries, and fruit of the Spirit are all Spirit-power qualities that are essential for a living Church. Without these operations of the Spirit, there is no Church.
Lesson 15.1 Gifts of the Spirit places the spiritual gifts possessed by each individual believer as the simple and essential manner by which the Body of Christ operates. We give to one another out from our personal heavenly giftings.
Lesson 15.2 Ministries of the Spirit lays out the true purpose and nature of ministry inside the Church of Christ. The wrongful application of minsitry is most of what is wrong with what we have known as "church." We now have a way to understand God's intention for ministry.
Lesson 15.3 Fruit of the Spirit the goes through each one of the fruits of the Spirit described by Paul and shows how those qualites are light among us, the essence and qualities of the Holy Spirit from one to the other.
