Working Hard To Be Holy

A series on the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. This is a series that is born out of a desire to see us grow in our experience of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Today we’re starting a new series called LIFE IN THE SPIRIT. This topic of the Holy Spirit is probably one of the most misunderstood elements of the Christian life and yet is one of the most crucial. But unlike other doctrines that we believe, that are rooted in scripture, our understanding of the Holy Spirit can tend to come more from our experience than scripture. We can tend to lean too far one way or the other and compartmentalize the purpose of the Holy Spirit in our lives. My goal for today is to give us a doctrinal foundation of the Holy Spirit and then a big picture understanding of the purposes of God carried out by the Holy Spirit to help us gain a biblical perspective of what it means for us to live life in the Spirit.

It's a good thing to periodically examine ourselves to see if we really believe what we believe!
