My question is about the connection between the Spirit and baptism.

ZachAUDIENCE

3:24

The phrase baptized by the Spirit shows up a lot in the New Testament, but I don't see it used in the Hebrew Bible.

I am a card-carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

Tim MackieHOST

On this podcast, I'm putting together the last 20 years worth of lectures and sermons where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

Do to others what you would have them do to you.

Tim MackieHOST

9:33

And so, of course, you know, we all fail.

Tim MackieHOST

9:34

But on the whole, you know, I'm a pretty decent person, but I'm really glad Tim's giving this message for some of the other people in the room.

Tim MackieHOST

9:41

So some of us, we would never say it, but if your friends were honest with you, that's who you are.

There are some times where spirit and power seem synonymous, but then you also have lots of passages where the spirit is talked about as it were a distinct agent.

Jon CollinsHOST

1:07

Tim takes us to the Gospel of John.

Jon CollinsHOST

1:09

It's the passage we ended in last week, where Jesus talks about being united with the Father in the Son through this other person.

Tim MackieHOST

1:18

He calls it the comforter, advocate, helper, and he's going to be with you forever, the spirit of truth.

Tim MackieHOST

2:20

The Spirit is a way to name not just something transcendent above and beyond, not just something that happened in the past for me.

Tim MackieHOST

2:27

It's the one I'm encountering in this moment right now.

Jon CollinsHOST

2:31

Today, Tim Ackie and I begin to wrap up the series on the third person of the Trinity, the Spirit of God.

So I have that in one hand, but in the other hand, You read the newspaper, or whatever.

Tim MackieHOST

6:11

Actually, nobody reads newspaper anymore.

Tim MackieHOST

6:12

You read MSNBC or whatever, New York Times, whatever, on your phone or something, and you just look at the tragedy and the horror of human history and of the chaos of the majority of humanity's just daily life and the pain.

Tim MackieHOST

6:28

And you, if you haven't been there yet, you will come there.

I also remember another significant influence.

Tim MackieHOST

2:33

The first pastor that I heard ever explore and teach the Book of Psalms in this way was through, um, actually, uh, recordings, a, a podcast.

Tim MackieHOST

2:41

It was actually CDs back then of, uh, sermons by Timothy Keller, a pastor in New York.

Tim MackieHOST

2:46

And he took this serious and tried to teach his congregation how to pray the language of the Psalms in our own prayers.
