Linda Withers led our lesson on the Holy Spirit. I can't give that Sunday morning experience here, but I can share God's word and a few thoughts about the Holy Spirit.
Read what Jesus says about the Holy Spirit in the Gospel of John:
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26, NAS
The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you. John 14:26, The Message
The Holy Spirit is God's presence in our world and in our hearts.
Here is an image that shows God in "three persons": Father, Son and Spirit.
The Holy Spirit's work is expansive and personal. That means God's spirit works for God all around the world, but also very personally in our hearts and lives.
Read what Paul wrote about the Holy Spirit in the letter to the church in Rome:
26And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. Romans 8:27-27, NLT
Something to do at home:
Pray in your own words and ask God to send his Holy Spirit as your helper to teach you and help you remember the words and character of Jesus.
