THUMBNAIL HOOK NO WIND, NO MOVEMENT
OPENING HOOK

CENTRAL DOCTRINE
The necessity of the Spirit for new birth, holiness, fruit, guidance, and witness.
NIV SCRIPTURE MAP

TEACHING SPINE
Three movements.
- The Christian life is supernatural because the Spirit indwells believers.
- Fruit of the Spirit cannot be reduced to personality management.
- The Spirit leads believers into holiness, empowers witness, and glorifies Christ.
KEEP THE BALANCE
What this teaching must not distort.
Keep the Spirit Christ-centered and Scripture-consistent. Avoid reducing the Spirit either to emotion or to a vague force.
LAND THE LINE
The Spirit is not an upgrade for advanced Christians. He is essential to Christian life.Episode completion is saved on this device.
