The Holy Spirit: Near and Known
About this series
The Holy Spirit
On the night before he died, Jesus promised his followers that the Father and he would come and “make their home” with them (John 14:23). How do the eternal Father and the resurrected Christ do that? Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is the personal presence of God in our lives. Knowing who the Holy Spirit is, how he relates to us, and how we respond to him is central to our relationship with God. The goal of this five-part series on the Holy Spirit is to help us grow in relationship with God by setting our minds on the Spirit.
