HOLY SPIRIT – WEEK 2
April 26, 2026
Pastor Dave Brown
Moving from simply understanding the Holy Spirit to actively living in relationship with Him daily.
KEY IDEA
The Holy Spirit is meant to be experienced, not just studied.
1. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT JUST A CONCEPT
The Spirit lives in us and is active in our lives
We are meant to understand and experience what God has given
Scripture: John 14:16–17; 1 Corinthians 2:12–14
2. FROM KNOWLEDGE TO RELATIONSHIP
The Holy Spirit guides, speaks, and leads
Christianity is not just belief—it’s relationship
Scripture: John 16:13; Romans 8:14; 2 Corinthians 13:14
3. LEARNING TO LISTEN
God often speaks in subtle ways
We must slow down and pay attention
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11–12; John 10:27
4. OBEDIENCE BRINGS CLARITY
Spiritual sensitivity grows through action
Obedience strengthens our ability to hear
Scripture: James 1:22; Acts 5:32; Galatians 5:25
5. EMBRACING DISCOMFORT
The Spirit often leads beyond comfort zones
Growth happens when we trust God’s leading
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:16; Isaiah 55:8–9
6. DAILY DEPENDENCE
The Holy Spirit is for everyday life—not just church
We are called to live continually filled and led
Scripture: Luke 11:13; Romans 8:5–6; Ephesians 5:18
