Is The Holy Spirit a person?

Have you ever wanted to understand a little more about the "third wheel" of the Trinity? Skip Heitzig admits he doesn't have all the answers but in this video he helps us gain more understanding about this wonderful helper.

"We love God the Father who created us and God the Son who redeemed us, but what about the Holy Spirit? We hear His name a lot, but who is He? What exactly does He do? What does He want from us? The Holy Spirit is the "quiet One," active in the life of believers but sometimes not acknowledged as being vital. Oswald Chambers noted, "The Holy Spirit cannot be located as a guest in a house. He invades everything!" Today, we consider Him and His role in our lives."



And here's a link to the next service where Skip explaines our relationship with The Holy Spirit and gives us a firm grasp on our role and how to cooperate.


Having understood Who the Holy Spirit is (Person not just power; Deity not just dignitary) we now find out what He does in the world of unbelieving people. Since the greatest gift God ever gave to the world was His only Son (John 3:16) it stands to reason that the greatest sin one can commit is to reject the Son (John 16:9). How does the Holy Spirit both sentence the world as prosecutor and lead people away from judgment? And what role do we play in all of this?
