December 8 Lesson: Forming Christian Culture –  Culture and the fullness of the Trinity Part 5: Receiving or Rejecting the Holy Spirit

“And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” (Luke 12:10-12). In this Scripture, Jesus shows us both the consequences of rejecting the Holy Spirit, and the fruits of being in complete communion with Him. In this week’s class we will discuss what it means to truly reject the Holy Spirit, the various wrongheaded ways we can fall into that lead to this rejection, and, most importantly, how we can receive and live a life in the Holy Spirit.
