Pastor David Gushee shares with us in the final part of our series on the Holy Spirit.

Scripture Reference:

"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability." (Acts 2:1-13)

Pastor David Gushee shares with us in part six of our 7-part series on the Holy Spirit.

Scripture References:

"While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, ‘Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?’ So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days." — Acts 10:44-48

Pastor David Gushee shares with us in part five of our 7-part series on the Holy Spirit.

Scripture References:

"For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, o we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another." — Romans 12:3-5

Shelly Woodruff shares with us in part four of our 7-part series on the Holy Spirit.

Scripture References:

"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness[b] with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ." — Romans 8:14-17

Pastor David Gushee shares with us in part three of our 7-part series on the Holy Spirit.
