The work of the Holy Spirit in us

Jun 8, 2025    Fr Seraphim Saleeb
This sermon excerpt focuses on celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit and the resulting birth of the New Testament Church, emphasizing that the church operates under the Spirit's guidance. The speaker outlines three primary ways the Holy Spirit works within believers: first, the Spirit teaches and reminds us, specifically by instructing us how to pray and aiding our understanding of the Scriptures, exemplified by Peter's spontaneous prophetic insight. Second, the Holy Spirit imparts both diverse fruits and gifts, which, when combined among believers, are essential for building the body of Christ, the Church. Finally, the Spirit enables believers to confess that Jesus is Lord, a truth that the speaker notes is only possible through the Holy Spirit's influence, allowing Christians to acknowledge Christ's divinity.
