About this episode
Pastor Colin Smith explores the presence of Jesus through the Holy Spirit and the hope of glory in the Christian faith.
In today's broadcast, we delve into the marvellous truth of how Jesus, though seated at the right hand of the Father, is present with us through the Holy Spirit. Join us as we explore the central truth of the Christian faith - "Christ in you, the hope of glory" from Colossians 1:27. Pastor Colin brilliantly explains how the Holy Spirit is not only with us but in us, working within believers to transform lives and produce the beautiful fruits of faith, hope, and love. We also discuss how to live in the tension between the 'already' and the 'not yet', enjoying the grace we have now and anticipating the glory to come. Be encouraged by the promise that ahead of us lies a perfect world where we’ll glorify and enjoy God forever.
