Topic: The Holy Spirit |
| The Spirit of God came on the day of Pentecost, as the
rushing mighty wind and the tongues of flame; and from that day to
this he has been with his people. This short series will help us to
understand the Holy Spirit, His role in our lives and the challenge
of living in His power. |

So who is the Holy Spirit....? |
Paul Graham |
| |
It is important that we understand that the Holy Spirit is not
an "it" but rather a person. The very spirit of God comes
to live in all Christians to be our helper and the guarantee of
our membership of God's family.
The Holy Spirit teaches us about sin and forgiveness through God.
Amazingly the Holy Spirit teaches us what is on the mind of God
for each of us. It is as we learn the truth that we experience freedom
in our lives.

Guaranteed by the Spirit |
Jeremy Balfour |
| |
All Christians are "sealed" by the Spirit; the deposit that
guarantees our inheritance. We do not need to live in fear of being
rejected by God but rather can find security in God's family.

The Power to Change |
Ken Brown |
| |
It has been said that God loves us just as we are but is not content
to leave us that way. Through his Holy Spirit God works in us to change
our very characters to make us more like Jesus. We are challenged
to be filled with the Spirit on an ongoing basis, each day of our
lives. How do we learn to do this and how do we make sure we don't
grieve the Spirit

The Power to Serve |
Joe Adrain |
| |
One writer said: "The Spirit equips us to serve God by imparting
his gifts, directing our ministry and anointing us with power".
God has much work for us to do in His service and He gives
us all that we need to serve him. However, we must guard our walk
with God and make sure that we are available to be used by Him.
