Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcards I John 2:20-29, “Unction” is the word for “anointing,” the substance of the anointing, the ointment. The “Holy One” is the Holy Spirit. The New Testament “priest” is anointed with the Spirit once, when he is inducted into the office of believer-priest at salvation. The Old Testament priests were only anointed once when they were inducted into their office, therefore we are only anointed once with the Holy Spirit.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 12 – Spiritual Gifts, Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. I Cor. 12:4-6
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
