   Why We Call God Father: Abba and the Names of God

   Most of us say "Father God" every time we pray and never stop to ask where that name came from. In this sermon, Pastor Phillip Martin of The Grove Church in Kingston, TN walks through the names of God in Scripture: El, Elohim, Yahweh, Ab, and finally Abba. The point is simple and big. Calling God "Father" was never automatic. It cost something.You'll hear how Abraham took a name from a culture that worshiped many gods and pointed it to the one true God, why "Father" shows up only 15 times in the whole Old Testament, and why Israel spent 400 years refusing to say God's name. Then Jesus arrives and calls God "Father" more than 170 times in the Gospels, and the religious leaders want Him dead for it.The message starts with God asking Adam and Eve "Where are you?" in Genesis 3 and ends with Jesus sitting across from Nicodemus in John 3. It's a sermon about God the Father's pilgrimage toward broken people, and about the privilege of being adopted as His children.Scripture Focus: Genesis 1, 2, and 3; Exodus 3; Deuteronomy 32; Isaiah 64; Mark 14; John 1, 3, and 5; Romans 8; Galatians 4; Hebrews 11; Revelation 22Subscribe so you never miss a message, and share this sermon with a friend.Website: https://www.ilovemygrove.comGive: https://ilovemygrove.com/give/

   How Do You Walk in Step With the Holy Spirit?

   You've received the Holy Spirit — so what is He doing in your life right now? This message from The Grove Church in Kingston, TN continues the teaching on the Holy Spirit, moving from who He is to how we actually walk with Him. The anchor is Acts 1:8 — "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."It works through two truths. First, the Holy Spirit lives in us: from John 14 and Ephesians 1, a believer is chosen, sealed, and secure — the enemy already defeated on your soul — and from Ephesians 3 and Romans 8, filled with the fullness of God and assured by the Spirit who testifies that we are God's children, crying "Abba, Father." Second, the Holy Spirit works through us — transforming our character (the fruit of the Spirit against the works of the flesh, Galatians 5) and empowering our witness (Acts 1:8). The call is to "keep in step with the Spirit," pictured by little kids learning to walk in their father's steps, and it lands on the Father's plan from the cross to the Great Commission — the same Spirit who raised Christ now sending us to go.Scripture Focus: Acts 1:7-8; John 14:15-17; Ephesians 1; Ephesians 3:14-20; Romans 8:15-16; Romans 12:2; Galatians 5:16-25; John 15; Matthew 28:19; Philippians 3:13Questions to think through:- You've been given the Spirit's power to be a witness — where is He sending you that you've been avoiding?- Which fruit of the Spirit is He most clearly growing (or pruning) in you right now?- Are you keeping in step with the Spirit, or dragging your feet? What would it look like this week to match His pace?Subscribe so you never miss a message, and share this sermon with a friend.Website: https://www.ilovemygrove.comGive: https://ilovemygrove.com/give/

   What Is the Holy Spirit Doing in the End Times?

   What is the Holy Spirit doing as history moves toward its end? This message from The Grove Church in Kingston, TN wraps up the Holy Spirit in the series "The Ghost, The Pilgrim, and The Savior," Pastor Phillip Martin's fall walk through the Trinity. Built on Revelation 22:17 — "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come'" — it traces the Holy Spirit from Genesis 1:2, hovering over the waters, to the Bible's final chapter, where the Spirit and the church cry out together for Christ to return. Then it shows the Holy Spirit the way Revelation shows Him — not only wind, but fire: the seven torches burning before the throne (Revelation 4:5) and the seven horns and seven eyes of the Lamb (Revelation 5:6), power and all-seeing presence, the Spirit resting on the Son just as the dove rested on Jesus at His baptism. The seven spirits of God (Revelation 1:4) are not seven spirits at all, but seven characteristics from Isaiah 11:2: the Spirit of the Lord, wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord — the same characteristics in Jesus, and the same Spirit who dwells in you. It also confronts a hard truth: you can resist the leading of the Holy Spirit — blasphemy as refusing the pull of salvation (Hebrews 6) — and, in Adrian Rogers' words, the most miserable man is the saved man not walking in the Spirit. From there: the Spirit who carries John "in the Spirit" (Revelation 1:10; 4:2; 17:3; 21:10), the Spirit who speaks — "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says" — and comforts those martyred for their faith (Revelation 14:13), the Holy Spirit as the Restrainer holding back evil in the last days (2 Thessalonians 2), the two witnesses of Revelation 11, raised by the breath of God after the world celebrated their deaths, and a sober warning about deceivers whose consciences are "seared as with a branding iron" (1 Timothy 4:1-2). And it closes with urgency: the same Spirit who says "Come" lives in you, holding back evil while God patiently props the door open for the last person to get saved (2 Peter 3:9) — because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Next up in the series: The Pilgrim. Scripture Focus: Revelation 22:17; Genesis 1:2; Revelation 1:4; 1:10; 4:2; 4:5; 5:6; 17:3; 21:10; Revelation 11; Revelation 14:13; 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 4:4; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; Hebrews 6; Isaiah 11:2 Questions to think through: - The Spirit and the bride both say "Come" — is that longing for Christ's return actually alive in you, or has it gone quiet? - If the same Spirit who rests on the Lamb — all power, all-seeing — lives in you, what changes about how you walk into this week? - The warning was to guard who's in your ear. Whose voice is shaping you most right now, and is it drawing you toward God or away from Him? Subscribe so you never miss a message, and share this sermon with a friend.
