The Holy Spirit is not a reward for spiritual elites—it is a gift promised by Jesus the moment we believe.

This week, Pastor Vicki teaches from Ephesians 1 and John 16, focusing on what it means to be sealed by the Holy Spirit. A seal represents ownership, protection, and permanence. When we say yes to Jesus, the Spirit marks our lives, offering assurance, conviction, guidance, and power.

This message invites listeners to reflect: Where are you in your understanding and experience of the Holy Spirit? Are you skeptical, uncertain, or longing for more? The Spirit isn't meant to be a mystery we avoid—but a daily reality we embrace.

You are not alone, and you are not powerless. You are sealed, assured, and empowered by the Spirit of God.

Discussion Questions

From the message handout:

  1. Where are you right now, as far as your understanding of the Holy Spirit?

    • I am not sure about the Holy Spirit. I’m skeptical.

    • I know the Holy Spirit exists, but I haven’t felt him at work in me yet.

    • I think I’ve felt His work in my life, but I’m not sure how to describe it.

    • I know He’s working in my life, but I’m afraid of what others might think if I start talking about it. He’s working in my life, and I’m hungry for more.

    • I know He is at work in my life and I’m fully embracing it.

  2. What does it mean that we are sealed by the Spirit as believers?

  3. What are some practical ways we experience the power of the Holy Spirit as individual believers?

  4. The Holy Spirit assures us of our salvation.
    If you have said yes to Jesus as Savior, do you have complete assurance that you will spend eternity with Him? Why or why not?

  5. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and guides us in the right direction.
    How do you define conviction? Do you experience it?
    Have you been led by the Spirit? How do you experience the Holy Spirit guiding you?

  6. The Holy Spirit gives us power to do what God calls us to do.
    How has the Holy Spirit called you to do hard things?
    When is the last time the Holy Spirit called you to get out of your comfort zone?

  7. The Holy Spirit helps us become the people God designed us to be.
    Is there evidence of the Spirit growing fruit in your life?
    Are you intentionally working to become more like Jesus?
