There is a difference between grieving and quenching the Spirit. Quenching is what we do to the Spirit, grieving is how He responds. We grieve the Holy Spirit when we take actions that hinder Him from being what He could be in us. We quench the Holy Spirit when we take actions that hinder Him from doing what He could do through us. This message deals with two main ways that we automatically grieve the Holy Spirit.

True worship only comes by way of whole-hearted obedience and complete trust in God. Abraham set the standard of worship when he obeyed God when asked to sacrifice his son. He knew God was good, yet was still willing to lay down his promised son in obedience. Worship will cost the worshipper something. Is He worth it?

This is the second part of a two part message focusing on how the Holy Spirit reveals things to us.  The first teaching dealt with God’s primary language and this message deals with God’s secondary language. The quality of your spiritual life here on Earth is directly connected to your ability to hear God’s voice and follow Him.  In this teaching we see four main ways that God speaks to us through the voice of His Spirit.

As believers we are in a constant spiritual battle with the enemy. To be victorious in this battle we need to have the right equipment. Fortunately, Jesus has equipped us with everything we need. He has given us powerful weapons to provide for both defense and offense in this battle.

Daddy issues can affect both males and females alike. The Devil is the Father of lies and one of His main motives is to deceive us about the true character of God as our loving Father. Our view of God as our Father shapes our lives. Our relationship, or lack of, with an earthly father can help form our identity and perception of God. This sermon reveals what Daddy Issues are, how to be free, and see God as The Good Father no matter how you grew up.

The Holy Spirit is not just an influence or force but He is a person.  The Scriptures attribute to the Holy Spirit characteristics that only a person can truly possess.  He is portrayed as a thinking being, a being who has a mind, an emotional being, and a volitional being.  The Holy Spirit reasons, speaks, and He can even be grieved.  The Holy Spirit has a positive ministry in our lives and one of His roles is to reveal the plans of God to us.  He will speak to us and lead us into abundant life if we will choose to heed His voice.  We must cultivate fellowship with the Holy Spirit and learn how to hear his voice while at the same time, recognizing that there are other voices competing for our attention.  This message deals with three different voices that will oppose the voice of God at certain times in our journey.

The ministry of The Holy Spirit is one of comfort, not condemnation. His role is positive, not negative! The Spirit convicts us of righteousness so that we have confidence to draw near to God. The Holy Spirit wants to inspire confidence, not self doubt. This message deals with how the enemy wants to use our past and our guilty conscience to condemn us and try to separate us from an awareness of God’s love.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is not one of condemnation, it’s one of comfort. Just as God did not send Jesus to condemn the world, Jesus did not send the Holy Spirit to condemn the world. When we think about Holy Spirit conviction, we need to first understand that His role in our lives is positive, not negative. This message deals with how the Holy Spirit convicts us and how we can be strengthened and comforted by His convictions.
