Message Summary

One theme we see throughout the Bible is God wanting to be with His people. Today, He does that through the Holy Spirit.

1. The Holy Spirit is dwelling within you.

2. The Holy Spirit working in you.

3. The Holy Spirit is moving through you.

Key Scripture

“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
John 14:15-18 NIV

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV
