The Saving Work of the Holy Spirit is an eight-week journey into how the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus by applying His saving work to our lives from beginning to end. From softening hard hearts and drawing us to the cross, to convicting, leading us to repentance, and uniting us to Christ in justification and new birth, the Spirit brings us into real participation in the life of Jesus. He continues this work by forming Christ’s character in us and ultimately bringing us into His glory. This series will help us see that the Spirit’s work is not separate from Christ, but wholly centered on Him—drawing us into His life, His obedience, and His victory.
