Workshop Lesson 4
Apostles' Creed - God the Holy Spirit

Memory Verse

“We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself
intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” - Romans 8:26

Terms to help us understand:

Comforter

Holy Ghost

Holy Spirit

Intercede

Sanctify



Student Thought Time

  1. When did the Holy Spirit first come to Jesus’ followers?

  2. What does the Holy Spirit do for us? (Check out Luther’s Small Catechism—article three)

  3. How do you solve the mystery of the Trinity?

  4. How does a person get faith?

  5. According to Galatians 5:22-23, what are the “fruits of the Spirit”?

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

  What does this mean?  I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.

  In the same way He calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith.

  In this Christian church He daily and richly forgives all my sins and the sins of all believers.

  On the Last Day He will raise me and all the dead, and give eternal life to me and all believers in Christ.

  This is most certainly true.

Assignment for the week of October 6, 2004

  • You will need a spiral notebook or three-ring binder specifically to save each Lesson’s assignment and the work accomplished. Your guide may ask to see the work at any time.

  • Faith Story focus for this week:

    • People chant: “We’ve got spirit,” what do they mean?
    How does personal and team spirit show itself?
    Relate this to a person having the Holy Spirit.

  • Attend weekly worship. Fill out the Worship Notes (available in the narthex) and return them to Nancy Schuett when completed.

Your Faith Story

  At the conclusion of this year, you have the opportunity to compose and share your faith story. Your faith life has been influenced by parents, family, friends, mentors, Sunday School classes, youth group experiences, etc. Take some time over this coming year to write about how these faith life experiences have affected you and your faith. Each week you will be given a thought to think and write about. Write a paragraph and keep it in your spiral notebook or three-ring binder. Each thought will guide you in eventually writing your faith story in February. Show Nancy at least monthly that you are accomplishing these assignments.
