Tell Me More About... The Holy Spirit | Tell Me More About | Aaron Pennington - Lead Pastor

In this message from our series “Tell Me More About…,” Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches on the Holy Spirit and why a balanced, biblical understanding of the Spirit of God matters for every follower of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is not meant to be ignored, overhyped, or used in unhealthy ways. He seals believers for salvation, convicts us of sin, guides us into truth, glorifies Jesus, and gives gifts to build up the church. Whether you grew up in a church that avoided the Holy Spirit, overemphasized spiritual gifts, or you’re still trying to understand His role in your life, this message will help you learn, unlearn, and pursue the presence of God with humility and truth.
