Pastor Mitch Todd's message explores the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives, emphasizing listening to His guidance, unity despite differences, and faith in the mystery of the Trinity.

Discussion Questions for Growth Groups

Jesus said it was better for Him to go away so the Holy Spirit could come (John 16:7). How does this shape your understanding of the Holy Spirit's role in our lives compared to Jesus’ physical presence?
- What personal experiences have you had where you sensed the Holy Spirit guiding you in ways that a physical presence might not?
Pastor Mitch mentioned the diversity within the church in terms of how we experience and respond to the Holy Spirit. How have your background and upbringing shaped your understanding of the Holy Spirit?
- In what ways can we, as a church, embrace different expressions of the Holy Spirit's work while maintaining unity?
The Trinity is often described as a difficult concept to fully grasp. How does the mystery of the Trinity build your faith, as Pastor Mitch suggested, rather than create doubt?
- What analogies or explanations have helped you, or perhaps confused you, in understanding the relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?
Pastor Mitch emphasized the importance of listening for the "gentle whisper" of the Holy Spirit, as Elijah did. How do you make space in your life to slow down and hear from God?
- Can you share an example of a time when you felt led by the Holy Spirit after taking time to be still?
The challenge presented by Pastor Mitch was to be more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and to act on them. Have you ever followed a prompting from the Holy Spirit? What was the outcome?
- What steps can you take this week to be more intentional about listening and responding to the Holy Spirit's voice?
