Things of Faith with Pastor Scott Hawkins

This podcast is intended to be a conversation starter for families. I want this to be a place for families to listen together to the conversation starters and start talking about things of faith in the home. Faith is rooted in families and I want this to be a tool to equip dialogue and allow for new thoughts to take shape in the lives of God's people.

Things of Faith with Pastor Scott Hawkins

God the Spirit

March 21, 2022 • Scott Hawkins • Season 2 • Episode 3

Pastors Scott Hawkins and Michael Stoops conclude their discussion on the Holy Trinity with God the Spirit.

A natural tension exists in the conversation around the Trinity. If there is one God where does room for the Holy Spirit appear?

The Holy Spirit is the part of the Godhead that we are the most intimate with. Faith conversations can often jump past, or rush, the Holy Spirit to get to the gospel and the Son. However, it's the Holy Spirit that brings us to hear the gospel and experience the gift of Jesus' sacrifice.

Despite the ideas that Christians hold in tension and often struggle with, regarding the Trinity, it is one of the things that separates the Christian faith. Our God is relational. All of His designs have been to bring us back into communion with Him. The Holy Spirit is a great tour guide to a relationship with God.

Another way to view the role the Holy Spirit plays comes from John 14:16

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever..."
