Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion of the Apostles’ Creed, talking about the Holy Spirit. They talk about who He is, what He does, and what His role is today in believers and in the church.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Who is the Holy Spirit?
• Is the Holy Spirit just a force or presence?
• What is the role of the Holy Spirit?
• What is the work of the Holy Spirit?
• What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

The Apostles Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

creator of heaven and earth,

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

He descended to hell.

The third day He rose again from the dead.

He ascended to heaven 

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

Helpful Definitions:

• Omnipresent: Everywhere fully present.
• Inspiration: God is the author of all scripture.
• Regeneration: The Spirit transforms our hearts from stone to flesh and indwells us.
• Inspiration and Illumination: The Spirit inspires the Word of God and gives us understanding of God’s nature and will through that Word.
• Sanctification: The Spirit is our Helper as we grow in holiness through obedience to God’s commands.
• Empowerment: The Spirit empowers particular people for particular service. This may be a particular gifting, such as the gifting of the craftsman Bezalel in Exodus 31:1-4, or it may be a special empowering for a particular circumstance, like when the Spirit rushes on Samson and he defeats an enemy.
