Sermon Series

As Acts begins, Jesus tells the disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before they do anything. All through the book of Acts we’ll see the Holy Spirit at work in powerful ways. This all begs the question, who is the Holy Spirit? Before we go any further in Acts, we should be sure to understand who the Holy Spirit is. Jesus calls him the “Helper”, even going so far as to say that we’re better off with him leaving so that he can send the Spirit. Pastor Josh unpacks a brief theology of the Holy Spirit from John 16:5-15, John 14:15-29 and other passages of Scripture. Jesus didn’t leave us alone, he sent the Spirit to help us and empower us for his mission.
