Experiencing the Holy Spirit (1 of 3)
Series: Camp Out: A Study of the Holy Spirit

Acts 2:1-13
I invite you to turn to Acts 2 as we return back to our study in Acts after some time away. This morning, I want to speak to you about ''Experiencing on the Holy Spirit.'' Over the course of three Sundays in January, we want to introduce you to the Holy Spirit and all He can do in your life.

Let me show you something of the magnitude of this gift: ''Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you'' (John 16:7). ''The Helper'' is another name for the Holy Spirit. Circle the word ''advantage'' here in your Bibles. It was to the Disciples ''advantage'' that Jesus go away. Did you hear what Jesus said? Pause and consider this for a moment. How many believers would like to be alive when Jesus was walking on water, healing the sick, and raising the dead? Have you ever been tempted t ...
