Many believers today live like spiritual paupers, unaware of the incredible riches they already have through the Holy Spirit. As we conclude our "Third Person" series, Pastor Tim unpacks seven powerful ways the Holy Spirit works in our lives—from giving us new life to equipping us with spiritual gifts. God’s Spirit doesn’t just visit us—He lives within us, making it possible not just to get by, but truly thrive.
