Sunday, June 28, 2026, Cole Tuck presented a powerful sermon titled “The Holy Spirit,” the first part of a two-part series examining one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christianity. Drawing directly from Scripture, the lesson emphasized that the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force or merely a symbol, but a divine Person, fully God, active in the lives of believers, and intimately involved in salvation. Cole demonstrated that the Holy Spirit possesses intellect, emotion, and will, teaches and intercedes for Christians, and deserves the same honor and worship as the Father and the Son. The sermon also highlighted the incredible promise that God’s Spirit dwells within every Christian as a companion, comforter, and guarantee of eternal inheritance. Ultimately, believers were challenged to deepen their appreciation for the Spirit’s presence and to recognize Him as God’s personal gift and abiding seal of salvation.
