In John chapter three, Jesus teaches that we must be born again. This spiritual transformation, often called regeneration, refers to the new birth that takes place when we are born of the Spirit. By nature, we are born into this world with a sinful disposition that resists God. Therefore, to enter the kingdom of God, we need this new birth through the Spirit's work in our lives.

One of the most important operations of the Holy Spirit is conviction. Unless the Holy Spirit draws us to repentance with the convicting power of the Holy Spirit no one would come to faith in Christ. Conviction is an ongoing work of the Spirit in a believers life, helping to draw us closer to Christ in fellowship.

In this message we are connecting the works of the Holy Spirit conducted in the Old Testament with the works of the Spirit in the New Testament. While the person of the Holy Spirit has not changed from testament to testament, the ministry of the Spirit has changed. The fulness of the Holy Spirit is available to all born again followers of Christ.

We continue exploring the question: Who is the Holy Spirit? From scripture, we see that the Holy Spirit is holy and unchanging. For those of us who are born again, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, empowering us by grace to live lives that reflect His holiness.

Who is the Holy Spirit? Perhaps one of the most important questions to answer for anyone who has received Christ as their Savior and have received the Holy Spirit. In this message we are going to begin answering that question from scripture, who is the Holy Spirit?

All are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb, an event where Jesus will be united with the redeemed. All are invited, but sadly not all will be in attendance to that great event. Some have made themselves too busy with this world and will neglect the invitation.

The parable of the tax collector and Pharisees illustrates the difference between pride and humility. God resist the proud but He gives grace to the humble.

The parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge teaches us how we ought to pray and not give up.
