Holy Spirit: The Liberator

May 11-June 8, 2025

The Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of the Trinity along with God our father and mother and Jesus, the son. Scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit was present at creation, descended upon Jesus at his baptism, called the church into being at Pentecost and is present among us now. Yet many of us find it challenging to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how the Spirit relates to our lives. Leonardo Boff, a Brazilian liberation theologian, called the Holy Spirit the “liberator” who frees us from the oppressions of sin and gifts us freedom. In this sermon series leading up to Pentecost, we will explore four ways the Holy Spirit liberates and frees us.
