Set Apart: By God, To God, For God
Aug 3, 2025 • Mike Osthimer
Last week we looked at verses 1 Thessalonians
5:19-22, with the main focus being on verse 19,
“Do
not stifle (or quench) the Holy Spirit”
The Spirit can be...
Quenched - 1Th 5:19-note
Grieved - Eph 4:30-note
Resisted - Acts 7:51
Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit is to “Reject the Holy
Spirit”
And what Paul had in mind was a fire, like a
campfire... God is the one who lights the fire within
us. The Holy Spirit is revealed to us as like fire,
representing the purifying work of fire. Paul was
writing to the church there in Thessalonica to exhort
them to keep the fire burning.
