We Believe—The Holy Spirit :: 10/18/26 :: David Norris

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What does it mean to believe in the Holy Spirit? In this message, Pastor David Norris explores the Nicene Creed’s declaration that the Holy Spirit is the Lord and giver of life—and invites us to recognize God’s presence among us.

From creation to Pentecost, Scripture reveals the Holy Spirit as a person of the Trinity who gives life, speaks truth, and empowers God’s people. Jesus has not left us as orphans. Through the Spirit, God is with us, guiding the church to continue the works of Jesus.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 Knowing the Holy Spirit as God, worthy of worship and glory
🔹 How the Spirit brings conviction, guides us into truth, and glorifies Jesus
🔹 Depending on the Spirit’s power to live and serve
🔹 Repenting of our neglect and learning to listen, trust, and obey

The Holy Spirit is essential to the life of the church. As we exalt Jesus, we are invited to surrender control, welcome the Spirit’s gifts, and grow in daily dependence on God. Believing in the Holy Spirit means trusting and following the One who is already present among us.
