MESSAGE: THE HOLY SPIRIT. TEXT: John 14:15, Act 1:8, 2:1-4.

We need the Holy Spirit just as Apostle Paul did… He saw Christ as the Sum and substance of life.

HOW DOES THE SPIRIT OF GOD WORK IN YOU TO  UNDERSTAND WHO CHRIST IS?

• Let the Spirit of God be your passion.
• To know Him was Paul aspiration. Let your burning to know Jesus be your Highest aspiration.
• You have to see your suffering for Jesus as a privilege.
• Let your chief desire for anyone who has owned up his life to follow Jesus be HUMILITY.
