Scripture lesson: Acts 19:1-7 The Holy Spirit

Time to reflect: The Holy Spirit doesn't always come in such a dramatic fashion. Sometimes it is the “still, small voice.” One is not better than the other.

Moving through the day: When do you feel the Holy Spirit in you? Do you recognize it when it does speak to you?

Scripture:

 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"
      They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."

 So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?"
      "John's baptism," they replied.

 Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. 7There were about twelve men in all.
