Welcome to a new season of Church Is Messy! Rick and Svea kick the season off with a bang and delve into a number of questions and topics related to our recently completed series, Gifted, on the Holy Spirit.

Topics discussed in today's episode:

00:00 Intro and Rick and Svea's Summer Highlights and Lessons Learned.
05:53 Recap of the Ghosted message series and a summary of the topics: including what is the Holy Spirit's role in spreading the Gospel, what is the Spirit's role in our own faith, what about spiritual gifts, and what is God's will for us?
15:21 Jesus said it is better than he goes away and we get the Spirit. Why might he have said this?
18:27 How did the believers experience the Spirit differently before and after Jesus?
22:30 We can engage with the Spirit and develop the fruit of the spirit by developing "spiritual practices" and habits.
24:11 People often focus on spiritual gifts that appear as "sensational" or "extraordinary" rather than seemingly ordinary.
26:31 What about instances where the Holy Spirit did do a sensational miracle or work? How do we approach those instances?
