Who is the Holy Spirit?
| Trinity / 4 |
Last week we started looking at the Holy Spirit, and what it means for Him to be present with us and how we can recognise Him. This week we take another look at the Holy Spirit and ask Who is the Holy Spirit? We reflect upon some of the names and roles of the Holy Spirit in an attempt to get to know Him more. (Apologies - in the video I gave one of the Scripture references incorrectly!) Read more

God the Holy Spirit
| Trinity / 3 |
The Holy Spirit, God present with us and in us at all times. Do we understand what that means for us and for the world on a practical basis?

Jesus Christ, God the Son
| Trinity / 2 |
What is in a name? Jesus’ name and titles give us glimpses into who Jesus is and what He came to do on earth. Understanding the relevance of these titles helps to inspire us to worship God, crying out “Jesus Christ is Lord”. Readings Mark 1:1 Philippians 2:1-11 Quote: “It is not an exaggeration to say that the incarnation - God becoming flesh - is the most scandalous teaching anyone has ever given. More scandalously, it is completely true.” Andrew Wilson, Incomparable: Exploring the Character of God, Survivor (Eastbourne: 2008), p.183
