Receive the Holy Spirit!

Franklin Vineyard Church Podcasts

John 20:22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit."

Jesus knew that his disciples needed help, and that's why he breathed on them to receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn't some spooky or mysterious being; He's a person, our Helper and Friend, and without his help, life, especially the Christian life, is almost impossible.

Many of us go throughout our days relying on muscle memory or our routine, but when we reach some obstacle or hurdle, then we ask for the Holy Spirit to help. But what if we spent every moment, every second, as an opportunity to pray, "Come Holy Spirit"? What if we didn't have to wait until life got hard to ask for the Helper? What if we relied on his power and presence all the time?

This Sunday, we're going to spend some time learning about the person of the Holy Spirit and how he is our help!
