This series of lessons examines the person and work of the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. The series begins by studying the doctrine of the triune nature of God; looking at the difficulty of understanding this concept, and examining the three fundamental elements of the doctrine of the trinity. We then move on to look at the work of the Holy Spirit including: His work in the Old Testament, His coming into the world, His work in regard to our salvation, and the filling of the Holy Spirit.

These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2019 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Israel's Response to the King - 6

The Parables of Jesus

Part 7 - "Israel's Response to the King - 6" (Matthew 12:31-42) - We continue looking at Israel's response to their King, the Lord Jesus. After accusing Jesus of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, Jesus warned the Jewish rulers as well as the people against blasphemy against the Holy Spirit; a sin the nation would commit during the Acts period when they resisted the ministry of the Holy Spirit and were set aside as a nation. He challenged them to judge a person's heart by the fruit they produced: their words and deeds. The Pharisees then put Jesus to the test, asking Him for a sign. He answered that an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign would be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Jesus' teachings in this passage clearly show this generation of Jews, being evil and adulterous, had already rejected Him as their Messiah and King.
