The Witness Of The Spirit, Discourse One is the tenth message in Wesley's 'Forty-Four Sermons'. The text for this sermon is 'The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God' (Rom 8:16). In this sermon, Wesley discusses the witness of the Holy Spirit and the witness of our own spirits, and how these can be distinguished from natural human thoughts, or the witness of the devil. Throughout the message he repeatedly challenges his hearers to embrace radical, total holiness in thought, word and deed, describing such a state as the only one in which the true witness of the Holy Spirit can be discerned.

The church has been called to participate in God's mission in the world. But without a robust, biblical sense of the Spirit's action, how can we be sure we're fulfilling that call? In this innovative work of missional pneumatology, Gary Tyra synthesizes charismatic and evangelical perspectives to flesh out the nature and purpose of the church's preaching, proclamation and service.

That the Holy Spirit is present in preaching is something we take for granted. How the Spirit is present is a question we seldom ask. Luke Powery suggests that we fail to ask that question to the detriment of our preaching. Drawing on the tradition of African American preaching, he locates the Spirit’s activity in the sermon in two primary places; First, in celebration, the joyous acceptance of God’s gifts to the church and to the world. But equally as powerful is the expression of lament, the lifting up of our sorrow, grief, and suffering. In these two experiences the Spirit plays the decisive role, enabling the preacher to lay the congregation’s joys and sorrows at the feet of the living God, and announcing God’s presence in both our celebration and our lament.
