The Holy Spirit

God's promised presence and power

We need the Holy Spirit!

All Christians and all churches need more of God’s power and a greater awareness of His love and presence. Edinburgh and all the world needs God’s people – gathered and scattered – to be increasingly filled and changed and led by the Holy Spirit. God has promised to give us His Spirit, why would we refuse?!

On this page you will find resources to help you learn about who the Holy Spirit is, and how you can experience Him in your life.

Small group resources

We have produced a series of small group discussion materials. Each one encourages people to look at what the Word of God says about the Holy Spirit and His work in our lives. We hope that these discussions will produce faith that the Spirit wants to empower believers today and bless the whole world through them.
