What if there was a unifying language for God's people given to fulfill God's purposes? Something so distinct, yet so powerful, that the world couldn't help but take notice?

What happens when you've received from God and from His Holy Spirit? What are you supposed to do? Well, it's time to put it in action!

All throughout scripture, God has been working to get closer and closer to His people. He's demonstrated His love and revealed His heart by closing the gap that separates us from Him, and He's done so by sending His Son to die for us and His Spirit to dwell in us.

In this week's "Spirit Come" message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares different practices and disciplines you can follow if you want to continue abiding in the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16 says that if we walk in the Spirit, we won't commit the desires of the flesh. This means that if you walk in the Spirit, you can be free from the burdens and weight of sin. So why is it that so many Christians still struggle to live in freedom? Why do so many Christians find it difficult to walk in the Spirit?

Do you ever feel like your life is missing something? Like there could be–or should be–more to life than what you're experiencing, but you're not sure what it is or how to get it? What if we told you there is a way to find it?

What role does the Holy Spirit play in the lives of believers? Is He active or inactive? Does it help or matter? And, ultimately, what does He change?

Have you ever asked or wondered who the Holy Spirit is? We tend to understand the personification of God the Father because we have a solid idea of what a father should be and what a father does. And we can grasp the personhood of God the Son because we see it embodied in the person of Jesus. But what about the person of the Holy Spirit??

Is it possible that we have forgotten one of the most important aspects of who God is??? Ask people about God, and they have beliefs, opinions, and understanding. Ask people about Jesus and they'll tell you He died on the cross to pay for our sins. But ask people about the Holy Spirit, and people will look at you confused or uncertain.
