Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
The Holy Spirit fills and fuels the Church with God’s power to preach the gospel, serve others, repent from sin, and increasingly live in freedom.
Discussion Question: In light of today’s Scripture reading, how can you live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit?
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. – Galatians 5:25. I can live out the truth that I am empowered by the Holy Spirit by acting when I am called. I think we have all felt the pull and then pushed it aside because it would be awkward or we don’t know how but that’s just it. In those moments we are imagining how to do it in our own strength and we don’t have to do it that way anymore. We have the Spirit and if he leads us we can also trust that God’s way has already been provided for and all we have to do is act. So I want to always act. Please forgive me when I don’t.
A few weeks ago in church, they were speaking about the Holy Spirit and said that the Spirit is a person or being just the way God and Jesus are. They said many of us think of the Holy Spirit more like this intangible thing just floating around. But the Spirit is active and is with us. When the writers describe the Spirit being poured out on people, that’s not a thing of the past. The Holy Spirit is poured out on all of us.
God has given each one of us talents that we can use to glorify him. When we abide in him he blesses us with fruits that we can share with others around us therefore reaching more people for Christ
Living out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit, to me means living in peace, and with hope that I have God’s presence and power in me. Peace and hope. That’s what comes to mind when I reflect upon the Holy Spirit. Peace because, when I accepted Christ and He sent the Holy Spirit, I can know from then on I will be in the presence of God someday, and nothing that happens on Earth can separate me from my Father. Not that there won’t be trouble and turmoil, but I can have peace in my heart and soul in the assurance of my salvation. Additionally, having the Holy Spirit dwell in me IS my hope.
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. – Titus 3:6-7.
Be saved from this corrupt generation, repent sins, spread the gospel truth, be baptized with water through the Holy Spirit of Jesus.
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. – Titus 3:6-7.
Amen
Do things that we could never do on our own without the Spirit’s power.
