When everything is shaking, where can you go for truth you can trust? Dr. John Neufeld makes the case that the Holy Spirit both inspired every word of Scripture and illuminates believers&#39; minds to understand it.

Why did God make snowflakes instead of ice cubes?

Old Testament saints had power too, so what did Pentecost actually change?

This topic has divided churches for years, so Dr. John looks at every place the Bible talks about the &#34;baptism of the Holy Spirit&#34; to figure out what it really means. His answer: every believer receives this the moment they trust in Christ — it isn&#39;t a separate experience reserved for some Christians. He also explains why the Bible talks about being &#34;filled&#34; with the Spirit again and again, and why that&#39;s something different — a renewal every Christian can keep asking for.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John argues that most believers tell their conversion story while quietly leaving out the Holy Spirit — the one who actually raised their spiritually dead heart to respond to Christ. Drawing on Ephesians 2, Ezekiel 36, and the story of Lazarus, he traces how regeneration, sanctification, and ongoing growth in holiness are all the Spirit&#39;s work, and why giving him credit matters for guarding against pride.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John explores the meaning of Pentecost — the Jewish Feast of Weeks — and the momentous events of Acts 2, where the Spirit descends with wind, fire, and tongues. He explains what made this day genuinely new compared to the Spirit&#39;s Old Testament activity: a fuller indwelling, a deeper understanding of Christ, and unprecedented power to draw people to salvation, evidenced by 3,000 conversions on a single day.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John traces the Holy Spirit&#39;s work throughout the Old Testament — sustaining creation, empowering judges and kings, and inspiring prophets — then tackles a key question: did Old Testament believers actually have the Spirit dwelling in them, or only resting on them temporarily? Drawing on Romans 8 and the lives of Enoch, Abraham, and David, he argues the Spirit was already at work within God&#39;s people, even as Pentecost would bring something greater still.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.

Dr. John opens a two-week series on the Holy Spirit by tackling the doctrine of the Trinity — how Scripture insists on one God while also revealing Father, Son, and Spirit as distinct, equal persons. Drawing on passages like Acts 5 and John 14, he shows the Spirit is a true person, not merely a force, and why understanding him rightly transforms how we relate to God.Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, fully equal with the Father and Son, yet he&#39;s the member of the Trinity most Christians know least about.
