God is Up to Something: Hello Holy Spirirt

About this episode

This episode explores the transition from Jesus' ministry to the early church, focusing on the role and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, we continue our series "God Is Up To Something!" by diving into the transition from the earthly ministry of Jesus to the birth of the early church. We explore why Jesus told His disciples it was actually to their advantage that He leave so that the Holy Spirit could come. What We Cover: The Promise of Power: Understanding Acts 1:8 and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to be witnesses from their local neighborhoods to the ends of the earth. The Spirit’s Identity: How the Holy Spirit is God in Spirit form, fulfilling Jesus' promise to be with us always. Practical Help: A look at the five ways the Spirit assists us today: in prayer, as a guide, in witnessing, as a comfort, and as the sustainer of life. The Spirit’s Work in the World: Exploring the "legal" work of the Spirit in convicting the world regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment. The same power that launched the early church is available to you today. Join us as we learn how to walk in the leading of the Holy Spirit and fulfill our unique calling in this generation.
