  1. Do Not Disturb After a worship service at First Baptist Church in Newcastle, Kentucky, a mother with a fidgety seven-year-old boy told me how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered, "If you don't be quiet, Pastor Charlton is going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all over again!" It worked.

Introduction • This is a body conscious world • We have many products to help us clean up, paint up, and fix-up our bodies • Great concern over our physical shape & health • Many types of diets & food life styles • Exercise clubs and exercise machines abound • As Christians we add another dimension of concern for our bodies • Our body as the home of the Holy Spirit

  4. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19-20) • This phrase should remind us of the O.T. temple • Great care to its design • Great wealth placed in its construction 1 Chr 29:1-5 • People knew God dwelt there • Our bodies are just as important because they are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit • Dedication of Solomon’s temple 2 Chr 7:1-15 • Today we have no such place

  6. The Holy Spirit lives within you • The Bible clearly bears this out • Jesus makes the promise – Jn 14:15-26 • The epistles explain it – Rom 8:6-17; Gal 3:1-5 • The Spirit is with you wherever you go & do • His power is there when you need it • Jgs 14:9; 1 Sam 10:6; Mic 3:8; Lk 4:14; Rom 15:13; Eph 3:16 • With the Spirit indwelling you, every word, every thought & every action is in His view

  7. Purpose of the Holy Spirit is to build you up to the glory of God • He regenerates – Jn 3:3-5 • He indwells – Rom 8:11 • He baptizes – Mt 28:19 • He empowers – Mic 3:8 • He sanctifies – Rom 15:16 • He teaches – Jn 14:26 • He comforts – Jn 14:16-26 • He gives joy – Rom 14:17 • He gives discernment –1 Cor 2:10-16 • He bears fruit – Gal 5:22-23 • He gave gifts – 1 Cor 12:3-11
