The Purpose Of Pentecost - Pastor Leisa Nelson

Pastor Lisa Nelson introduces The Rock Family's new series "To Be Continued," exploring how the Holy Spirit's work didn't end with the book of Acts but continues powerfully today, focusing on unwrapping spiritual gifts.

• Holy Spirit is not an "it" but the third person of the Trinity—living, active, and essential
• The Trinity existed before Genesis 1, planning together for humanity's creation and redemption
• Jesus needed Holy Spirit's power to deal with the enemy and fulfill His ministry
• Holy Spirit comes both "in us" (giving eternal life) and "on us" (giving power)
• Understanding the spirit vs. flesh battle explains why Christians struggle with sin
• We release something everywhere we go—the question is what and from what source
• The gifts of the Spirit come with fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness
• Holy Spirit reveals areas needing change because He won't dwell where other things have Lordship
