Holy Spirit from Stranger to Friend: The Spirit Who Leads - Week 4
Title: The Spirit Who Leads
Scripture: Matthew 4:1–10
Episode Description:
The Holy Spirit doesn’t just comfort or guide—He leads us into the wilderness, where God shapes our character and strengthens our faith. In The Spirit Who Leads, Pastor Dan unpacks how the Spirit guided Jesus into the desert and still leads us today with promise, presence, power, and purpose.
The Spirit’s promise gives us hope, just as Abraham trusted God before seeing the outcome. His presence sustains us, like the pillar of fire and cloud that guided Israel through uncertainty. His power is found in the Word—Jesus overcame temptation not by force, but by declaring, “It is written.” And His purpose sends us to testify, like Philip led to the Ethiopian in Acts 8.
If you’re walking through a wilderness season, this message will help you see how God is using it to form Christ in you. Discover how His promises sustain, His presence brings peace, His Word empowers victory, and His Spirit equips you to bear witness to Jesus.
The wilderness isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. The Spirit doesn’t lead us away from it, but through it, transforming us to look more like Christ.
