The Ministry of the Holy Spirit (4 of 70)
And The Word Became Flesh
John 16:7-15

If you have your Bible, turn to John chapter 16. We want to talk about The Ministry of the Holy Spirit. If we could put it in vernacular terms, what is the job description of the Holy Spirit? Anybody who has ever worked knows about a job description. Every company has certain jobs, and they will tell you about the job. They give you a description of the job.

Those are certain job descriptions.
Well, we want to talk about the job description of the Holy Spirit. You know, God exists in Trinity; one God in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. We know a lot about God the Father. We know about God the Son. God the Hol ...
