So far in this series we have talked a lot about the person of the Holy Spirit: His heart, emotions, relationship to the Father and the Son and the work that He does in our lives. We have talked about His purposes, how He glorifies Jesus in everything that He says and does, lives in...

Mark Bible Study: Mark 11:20-33 “Moving the Mountains of Our Hearts”
I’ve become convinced that there are passages of Scripture, small statements and declarations that most of us use on a regular basis but don’t know the context, tonight’s passage contains one of those statements.

I Corinthians 2:1-13 The Person, Purpose and Plans of the Holy Spirit: Trusting When We Don’t Understand

John 14:12-15; John 16:12-15 The Person, Purposes and Plans of the Holy Spirit: Authority and Submission
One of the very interesting things that Jesus promised about the Holy Spirit was that “He will not speak on His own authority”. The King James says “He will not speak of Himself” which has often caused people to believe that this means that the Holy Spirit never talks about Himself; literally it says “He...

John 14:25-31 The Person, Purposes and Plans of the Holy Spirit: “Purposed for Peace”
As we have been studying the Holy Spirit these last couple of months I have to come to realize that our relationship with Him, or how we expect to build a relationship with Him has been largely backwards, or to use a phrase I like to use, it’s been upside down. As I shared at...
