If you were in the room when Jesus was saying these words what would your impression be? What would be your understanding of the Holy Spirit? 2. Read Acts 1:8. What is your understanding of the type of power we receive from the Holy Spirit? Is there a gap between your belief and your experience? 3.

How have you experienced the Holy Spirit speak through Scripture? Discuss the partnership between people and the Spirit. 5. We can use Scripture to understand God’s character, hear His voice, love others, and test our experience. What might each of these things look like practically in our lives?
