Beginning this Sunday (9-6-26) we will be looking at a series of sermons on the Holy Spirit. There is a wide range of definitions that people give about the Holy Spirit. Depending on the church you may attend, you will see a variation of how the Holy Spirit "shows up" in the church service.
I remember visiting with a friend of mine one time, and we got on the subject of the how the Holy Spirit works. He told me that he saw the Holy Spirit throw a 300 pound woman over the back of the pew one Sunday. I asked him why did the Holy Spirit need to do that? His answer was "to show His power".
Well, I don't know about you, but I believe the Holy Spirit has a whole lot more power than that. And, I don't see any reason that the Holy Spirit needed to prove Himself, by throwing that women over the back of the pew.
The Holy Spirit is not in the business of throwing people around like a bully. He's in the business of transforming people from the inside out. Oh yeah, He will turn your life upside down for sure.
He changes people from a sinner to a saint. He changes people's perspective on life. He can take the most low-down, rotten scoundrel on the earth, and turn them into a preacher. That's the power of the Holy Spirit, and He don't even need to throw you over the back of pew to do it. He can take your mess and turn it into your message.
He can heal the broken-heart, the broken mind, and the broken body. He can give strength to weak, comfort to the hurting, and give peace that passes all understanding. His power is beyond our understanding.
How does He do this? Who exactly is He? How does He work? Does He just "show up" at church now and then, and throw people over the pew? Where does He live? Is the Holy Spirit even a person?
We'll dive into who He is this Sunday. We'll look at what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit. We'll look at what Jesus says about who He is, what His role is, and how He does it. Nobody knows more about the Holy Spirit than Jesus does, right? I think we better go with what He says.
Your welcomed to come and Worship with us on Sunday mornings, starting at 9:30 am. You'll receive a warm welcome, I guarantee it.
