Who is the Holy Spirit? In the battle for our souls, the Holy Spirit stands as our vital ally, but how well do we truly know Him?

Join us for a talk where we will explore the rich biblical imagery of the Spirit: Dove, Fire, Wind, Water, Oil, Seal, Wine, Guarantee. What do words like Ruach, Pneuma, and Paraclete mean? How is the Spirit portrayed in the Old Testament, and how do the scriptures affirm His divinity? What is the difference between “begotten” and “proceeding”? We will review various heresies like Montanism, Spirit Deniers, Modalism, and Full Cessationism. We’ll also look at the biblical foundation for the Niceno-Constantinople Creed’s understanding of the Holy Spirit. He is the Author of Life, Revealer of Truth, the One who empowers, comforts, and advocates for us, and binds us together in the bond of God’s love. The Spirit is worth getting to know! You are warmly invited!
