What does the Bible say about the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force: Jesus presents him as "the Advocate" who teaches, reminds and guides into all truth (John 14:26; 16:13). He empowers believers to be witnesses (Acts 1:8), dwells in every Christian — "your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:19) — and produces his fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience (Galatians 5:22).

The sermon summaries here explore Spirit-led life in the everyday: how to walk at his pace, discern his voice, be filled and renewed. Each summary distils a teaching with its key verses and links back to the original video.

Sermons on "Holy Spirit"

Frequently asked questions about "Holy Spirit"

Who is the Holy Spirit?

The third person of the Trinity — not an energy, but God himself present in every believer. Jesus speaks of him as a person who comforts, teaches, convicts and guides (John 14-16).

How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?

Ephesians 5:18 makes it a present imperative: "be filled with the Spirit" — a continual renewal rather than a one-time event. It comes through thirst (John 7:37-39), prayer, obedience and a life that lets him lead.

How do I recognize the Holy Spirit's voice?

The Spirit never contradicts the Scripture he inspired: that is the first test. His leading comes with peace, is confirmed over time and through wise counselors. Several sermons on this page develop that discernment.
