Holy Spirit in 1 and 2 Thessalonians

Jonathan Jenkins February 4, 2026

We have seen in previous essays how the spread of the prophetic powers into new fields of preaching was integral to the spread of the church. The Spirit’s powers were essential in Jerusalem, Samaria, with Cornelius, and to defend the work of Paul’s first missionary journey. Is it reasonable to think that the same emphasis about the work of the Holy Spirit would be missing from the first epistle written to one of the first apostolically planted churches among the Gentiles in Europe?

Joel 2:28-32: The Promise of the Holy Spirit

The Bible’s doctrine about the work of the Holy Spirit with man begins in Genesis. It is described nearly one hundred times in the Old Testament.

About digital bible study

This is a personal ministry of Eric Owens and Jonathan Jenkins. We started our web streaming efforts in about 2002. DBS has been through several phases for the years. When 2020 turned upside down on all of us, Eric and Jonathan thought that an ongoing series lessons focused on connecting God’s people to Him and each other would be encouraging in hard time. For 4 years we ran the nightly CONNECT online gospel meeting featuring over 200 gospel preachers. Most of those lessons are preserved in the video library on our site. We continue our 20 year history of livestreamed Bible studies today.

We invite you to come along with us in our journey to get to know our our God, our community, and the truth.
