The Intimate Friendship

If you have your Bibles, get them out.

We're going to 2 Corinthians.

I've been talking on generosity for the last month or so, but I felt today that I was to talk on the Holy Spirit.

as we come into House of Glory.

I mentioned I spoke at Bridgeway this last weekend, and they actually asked me to finish up a series I did on the Holy Spirit.

As I was talking to their church, I thought, you know what, I'm gonna talk to our church about this as well.

I think prophetically, there's a moment and an invitation for us to know the Holy Spirit more intimately.

And I think as we're coming in on Sunday night, Sunday night was so, guys, listen, if you haven't come to Sunday night, just come to the once a month we do on Sunday night.

It's been incredible.

But Sunday night, just such an invitation to encounter and know the Holy Spirit.

And then also, as we come into House of Glory, I kind of want to prime the pump a little bit.

There's an invitation to walk more intimately with the person of the Holy Spirit.

And so we're going to kind of talk through a little bit of that today.

Sound good? All right, you don't have a choice.

If it doesn't sound good, I don't know what to tell you.

All right, 2 Corinthians chapter 13.

We're gonna, Paul, we've been in 1 Corinthians, so you're gonna understand this.

Paul is writing the second letter to the church in Corinth.

This is a group of people that he knew very well.

He was very affectionate, loved them.

He was stern with them in his letters, but you could tell there's just a ton of love for them.

And Corinth is actually a city that he stayed in longer than he normally did in other cities.

When Paul would come in to plant a church, he wouldn't stay long.

In Corinth, he stayed about a year and a half, about 18 months he was there.

So he was doing life.
