The Holy Spirit In You: Recognize, Reverence, Respond

Jul 23, 2026    Pastor Paul Craig

This sermon explores the difference between the disciples' experience of the Holy Spirit walking with Jesus and the indwelling Holy Spirit believers receive after being born again. Pastor Paul teaches a "three R's" framework of recognizing, reverencing, and responding to the Holy Spirit as a person and teammate rather than focusing on behavior modification. He closes by tracing the pattern of speaking in tongues through the book of Acts as the first evidence of the Spirit's baptism and explains it as God speaking His will directly through the believer's tongue.
