If you have attended...

... Life Church for any amount of time you know that we always welcome Holy Spirit to all of our services…you may not know why. I will try to explain that:

1. We should welcome Holy Spirit because when He comes we will realize it is not by our own power that we will accomplish anything. Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.’ 

2. We should welcome Holy Spirit because when He comes He will be our helper and be with us forever. John 14:15 (NKJV) "If you love Me, keep My commandments.  16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever

3. We should welcome Holy Spirit because when He comes He will teach us all things and bring back to our memory His Word. John 14:26 (NKJV)  26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 

4. We should welcome Holy Spirit because when He comes He will testify (tell us about) Jesus. John 15:26 (NKJV)  26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. 

5. We should welcome Holy Spirit because when He comes He will fill the void left when Jesus ascended to the Father. John 16:7 (NKJV) “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 depart, I will send Him to you.” 

6. We should welcome Holy Spirit because sinners will get saved and believers will get right with God. John 16:8 (NKJV) ^“And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment”
