Discussion Questions
① What is your initial reaction to the book as you read it?
② How much do you feel you know about the Holy Spirit and
its work in our lives from the Scripture?
③ What Scriptures about the Holy Spirit do you know? List
them (book, chapter, verse) WITHOUT looking at a
concordance or references.
④ What about your life can you point to that you can say that
it is only because the Holy Spirit is working in your life?
When is the last time you shared that (or those things) with another
brother or sister in fellowship? A discipling time?
⑤ When is the last time you shared about the Holy Spirit
working in your life when studying with a non-Christian?
