    Without the Holy Spirit, the Christian life is impossible. Unless the Holy Spirit is present and doing His work, nobody can be born again, grow in Christlikeness, or accomplish the mission of Jesus. In this sermon, we learn how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit.

One of God’s promises that I covered in that series is: we have a helper who empowers us – the Holy Spirit. 2.
