The world cannot receive him, because it isn\u2019t looking for him and doesn\u2019t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.\u201d \u2013 John 14:17, NLT<\/p>\n<p>The Holy Spirit is a distinct Person within the Triune Godhead. He is not an energy, or force, or power. He is not a some<em>thing<\/em>, but a divine Some<em>one<\/em>. He is no less God, or personal, than the Father or the Son. This is the catholic (ie. universal) faith: \u201cThat we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Spirit can be known from the first pages of the Scriptures. He is present in the creation of the cosmos. He anoints persons for holy tasks. He illuminates the minds of the prophets. He comes upon the Messiah and rests. He is the agent of new birth and the power for holiness. He speaks, he abides, he can be grieved. The scriptures say all this and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod the Spirit\u201d is a sermon series devoted to knowing the Holy Spirit more intimately\u2013that we might see more clearly who he is and how he operates; that we might be more attuned to his voice and open to his work; that he might reign in our hearts and use us for his purposes in bringing glory to the Father and the Son. He leads into all truth, and the truth will set you free!<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 100%;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"><strong>Series Playlist<\/strong><\/p>\n<div
