This morning is our final Sunday in our series talking about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and we are going to talk about the Holy Spirit as the Sending Spirit; the one who sends us out. Just as Jesus was sent out by the Father, The Spirit Himself is sent out by the Father and the Son. So it’s no surprise that when the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts, He doesn’t lead Christians away from their world but sends them out into it. What exactly does the Spirit send His people out to do? Christians often focus on the power of the Spirit. We want His power to heal, to see miracles, the power to change, power in prayer. It is interesting, though, what the main thing that Scripture says the Spirit gives power for. The immediate result of the coming of the Spirit in Acts 2 was that the apostles began to proclaim Christ. The Sending Spirit sends us out to be witnesses to the world.
