The Familiar Stranger - pt 1: The Spirit we hardly know

 

Have we settled for knowing about God instead of truly knowing Him? In this Pentecost series opener, we explore how the Holy Spirit—often the most ignored member of the Trinity—isn't a force to harness, but a Person to know. Drawing from John 14 and Tyler Staton's The Familiar Stranger, we ask why the Spirit feels like a stranger to so many, and how we can begin to walk with Him as a friend. If you've ever felt distant from the Holy Spirit or unsure how to relate to Him, this first talk of the series is a gentle but powerful invitation to start again.
