1 – Who or what is the Holy Spirit?

2 – What does he Holy Spirit do?

3 – What are the gifts of the spirit?

4 – What are the fruit of the Spirit?

5 – What are the excesses of ecstasy and emotionalism?

6 – How do we balance doctrine and knowledge about God with experience and openness to God?

This might be great around Pentecost, but I’m doing the class now, so could take advantage of the study work I’m doing for that.  It’s very topical and not easy to find larger passages for many of these, except the fruit of the spirit and gifts of the spirit weeks.

Also, one week on a doctrine heavy topical sermon has gone well, I’m not sure about 6.  Maybe I could make it into 4 weeks and do Gift and Fruit in one week and either not cover the last two listed above or do those together as well.

Ben mentioned that Multmann has some important work on this topic.  I was going to buy one of his works on the topic.  I don’t remember if I got it for Kindle, but they don’t have an audible version, which is too bad. Anyone have a copy of one of his books on it (seemed like he had two or three).  Any passages that would be good for any of the weeks above?
