The Holy Spirit’s Early Appearance
The Holy Spirit appeared at the Baptism of Christ Jesus, as a dove descending upon the Son of God, while the Father spoke from Heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” (Matthew 3:17)
At a later time, Jesus breathed on the apostles, and said to them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost,” (John 20:22).
Today, how do you and I receive the Holy Spirit? Simple: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost,” (Acts 2:38).
Amen.
P.S. Pastor Gray loves to preach about the Holy Spirit, who is sometimes also called, “The Holy Ghost.” Come to church any Sunday at 11:00 a.m. to experience worship that welcomes the Holy Spirit. Not fancy. Not modern. Just straight and true. |

SUBJECT: Holy Spirit
BIBLE VERSE: But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. (John 15:26-27)
COMMENT: Our Lord Jesus knew that we needed the presence of "the Comforter," whom He sent after He was crucified, raised, tarried 40 days on Earth, and then ascended. Ten days later Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, who came from the Father. We are so blessed to have the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, with us to remind us of Jesus. Now, we can effectively bear witness to majesty of our Savior!
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, we welcome the Comforter! We want Him to testify about You! And then, we shall bear witness to You, Lord Jesus. May You receive all of the glory for bringing life to us! Amen.
AMEN
