Who is the Holy Spirit and What Does He Do?

Jonathan Pennington · June 7, 2026 · 10:00 AM service

Jonathan Pennington answers a question he asked as a young man and never got a clear answer to: who is the Holy Spirit and what does He do? Beginning with Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5, he shows that the Holy Spirit is God, that He is a person with a body, a will, a voice, and emotions, and that He indwells and seals every believer. He then walks through 1 Corinthians 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 2 to explain the believer as the temple of God, the earnest of the Spirit as God's down payment guaranteeing our redemption, and how the Spirit teaches, convicts, leads, comforts, and empowers.

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
1 Corinthians 3:16 (KJV)
