Who is God? Week 3: God the Holy Spirit - Our Counselor

We had a GREAT night tonight!  So thankful for a evening to study God's Word with the Zero Gravity amazing kids!

To start out the night, we paired up in teams.  Keanu & Morgan, Sammy & Corinna, Peyton & Abbie and Mercella & Brianna (new friend)!!  For each pair, one child was blindfolded and the other was the guide.  We walked outside while the kids experienced being blind or being a guide and then they switched places.  (I should have taken pictures!!)

Back in the classroom we started the final week for our series on who God is, and we turned our attention to God the Holy Spirit, whom the Bible describes as a "counselor" or "comforter" or "advocate" for those of us who follow Christ.

After Jesus returned to heaven, God sent the Holy Spirit, and this reveals how God genuinely wants the best for us.  God knows we need help to live truly meaningful, significant, impacting lives.  We receive this help through God the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.

Giving us the Holy Spirit also shows that God wants a close relationship with us  because of his incredible love for us.  God sends his Spirit so that we can remain in constant communion with him until we arrive in heaven.  The Holy Spirit allows us to be connected to God at all times and to understand God's incredible plan for our lives.

Memory Verse:
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.  He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard.  He will tell you about the future.  John 16:13
