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?

Can There Really be Just One Church?

Every conversion recorded for us in the book of Acts culminates in baptism, and at that point, the Lord added them to his church. If we follow the same pattern, we can expect the same results. Christ will add us to his church.

Holy Spirit in James and Hebrews

Neither Hebrews nor James has an argument like Galatians 3-4 or Romans 8. The “indwelling” is not emphasized in argumentation before Acts 10. It is not found in the epistles to the “Hebrews.”

What is the Church?

Progressives have successfully shifted our language. We have ceded ground to them they do not own. Their efforts have created enough ambiguity and fluidity around the nature of the church that many no longer believe in the concept of a non-denominational church of Christ.

How can a Homosexual be Saved?

Even if, somehow, the armies of theists in America were able to hold the ground we possess in the discussion of homosexuality, our fight would not lessen. The progressive secularist would simply move his forces elsewhere.

What is the Mystery of God?

Overcoming this prejudice was the first major hurdle for Christianity. The prophets proclaimed the universal nature of the body of Jesus. All nations would come to be a part of this body (Isaiah 2:2-4). The Gentiles who were not God’s people would be His people in this church (Amos 9:11-12, Acts 15:16-18). Until this was accomplished, the church would not fulfill God’s eternal purpose to unite all things under the authority of Jesus.

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.

Thanks for visiting
