Each lesson examines the historical roots of the doctrine, especially in the Reformation era, and shows how the uniqueness of Christ has come under specific attack today. Then, learners will walk through the story line of Scripture, from Christ's unique identity and work as prophet, priest, and king, to the application of his work to believers and our covenantal union with him.

Today, few people know exactly what the Scriptures say regarding the Holy Spirit, and the consequence is men trying to do things in their own strength. Sadder still is how one group denies the power of the Holy Spirit, while another group pursues the things of the Spirit more than they pursue Christ himself. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. This audiobook takes a close look at Scripture to see what the Lord himself tells us regarding his Holy Spirit and how it relates to us today.

When many consider modern Christianity, they rightly wonder how we have come so far from the dynamic supernatural community pictured in the Book of Acts. God did not change between then and now. What happened? Could it be that in our quest to be relevant, entertaining, hip, and appealing to modern culture, we have lowered the standard for the Christian life? We need a true revival that restores Christianity to the standard found in Acts Chapter 2.
