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.
