The Big Idea: 

After his departure, Jesus would send his followers a Helper. This helper is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives within us and though we cannot see Him, we can feel him and we sense he is working in our lives to make us more like Jesus.


Main Points:

1. Although we cannot see the Holy Spirit, we should be able to sense His work in our lives changing us to be more like Jesus.
2. Truth has never been more scarce than it is today. You and I live in a time where it is culturally appropriate to not believe in absolute truth. Rather, we are told that truth is personal. It is said that something may be true for one, but not true for another. Truth is what we want it to be. 
3. In the last days many will be deceived by false teaching and false doctrine. None of us listening today believes we will be deceived, but there are many New Testament verses that speak of the deception of believers in the end times.  So, we pay careful attention the Scriptures. We listen for the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit so that we will stay focused on truth.

John 16;13 - “…when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”

1 Timothy 4:1 - “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow d
