7. 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? Next week’s lesson: “I’ve got Jesus. Why do I need the Holy Spirit?”
