Have you ever wondered who the Holy Spirit really is and how He works in your life? Maybe you didn’t grow up in a faith tradition that engaged with the Holy Spirit beyond words on a page, or perhaps the Spirit has been an active part of your faith experience. Either way, it’s never too late to deepen your understanding of the third member of the Trinity.
The Holy Spirit is God’s personal presence with us. On the day of Pentecost, God gave us the Spirit to guide, comfort, and empower us every day (Acts 2:1-4). It's for this reason we can't avoid or downplay His importance — in fact, understanding and engaging with the Holy Spirit deepens our understanding of God Himself!
As Pentecost approaches, now is the perfect time to prepare your heart and mind. These Bible studies are designed to help you understand the Holy Spirit, experience His presence, and live a Spirit-filled life.

A strange thing keeps happening in the modern world. People who no longer believe in God still wander into churches.
Not for services and not because they have suddenly become religious. They simply walk in, sit on the hard wooden pews, and remain there for a while. When asked what they are doing there, the answer is usually something like, "I just come here to think." I have heard that explanation more than once, and it never seems to tell the whole story.
I suspect they are there because they are carrying something heavy and have not found anywhere else to set it down.
