What Happens When You Ignore the Holy Spirit? | Bryant Hemphill

Can a believer become less sensitive to the Holy Spirit? Not because God stopped speaking, but because we’ve stopped responding. In this episode of the How To Holy Spirit series, Pastor Bryant explores how sin, disobedience, and ignored promptings can slowly dull our sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s voice.   We’ll look at what it means to grieve, quench, and resist the Holy Spirit, why both the wrong things we do and the right things we refuse to do affect our relationship with Him, and how a life of obedience keeps our hearts tender to His leading.

How to Know When God Is Leading You | Pastor Bryant

Have you ever wondered if that thought, nudge, or sense of peace was actually God leading you? In Week 5 of the How To Holy Spirit series, Pastor Bryant explores one of the most practical questions believers face: How does God guide us?   The Bible teaches that God’s primary guidance doesn’t come through signs, coincidences, or chasing the spectacular.

You've Been Looking for the Wrong Thing | Pastor Bryant Hemphill

Many believers want to hear God's voice, but what if we've made it more complicated than it needs to be? In this message, Pastor Bryant explores the primary way the Holy Spirit speaks and why so many people miss His voice while waiting for something dramatic. The truth is, the Holy Spirit isn't hiding from you. He isn't making communication difficult. He is already speaking through the Word of God. If you've been chasing signs, waiting for a dream, or wondering why God feels silent — this message is for you. It will help you stop overcomplicating the process and start positioning yourself to hear what the Holy Spirit may already be saying.

Does He Still Speak Today? | Pastor Bryant Hemphill

Does Holy Spirit still speak today? And if He does how would you even know it’s Him? In Week 3 of the How To Holy Spirit series, Pastor Bryant talks about one of the biggest questions believers wrestle with: hearing the voice of God.   This message breaks down the tension between over-spiritualizing everything and living like God is completely silent — while showing how the Holy Spirit still leads, guides, convicts, teaches, and speaks to believers today.   Because maybe the problem isn’t that God stopped speaking. Maybe we just stopped expecting Him to.

The Holy Spirit Is Not a Yes-Man | Pastor Bryant Hemphill

A lot of people want the Holy Spirit to comfort them, encourage them, give them peace, and help them through difficult seasons — and He absolutely does. But that’s not all He wants to do. In this message, Pastor Bryant talks about the character of the Holy Spirit and how true relationship with Him always leads to transformation.   Because the Holy Spirit is not just interested in making us feel better — He wants to change us from the inside out. That means convicting us, challenging us, leading us into truth, dealing with hidden areas of our lives, and shaping us to become more like Jesus. The more you understand His character, the more you begin recognizing His voice, His leading, and the way He works in your life.
