Help Is Here Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit

by Max Lucado, Andrea Lucado (Primary Contributor)

The Holy Spirit is a mystery to many of us today. We understand the nature and character of God the Father. We have no problem comprehending Jesus as the Son. But the Holy Spirit? We tend to hem, haw, and search for words when trying to describe him and the work he does in our lives. Perhaps some of the challenge is found in the terms. We understand God as a Father. Jesus as a Son. But God as Spirit? The word itself is mystical.

In this five-session video Bible study, bestselling author Max Lucado pulls back the curtain on the third member of Trinity. He shows how Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to his disciples because they needed to be equipped for the work he had in store for them. As he said to them, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8 NKJV). Jesus knew they needed the Holy Spirit's power—to make good choices, keep promises, silence voices of fear, and get on with life. Jesus promised to provide this power to his followers. He still promises to provide this power today.

The Bible reveals that the Holy Spirit—far from being an impersonal force—is always close, always active, and always at work within our lives. He is our helper, teacher, empowerer, intercessor, peace-bringer, guider, anointer, convicter, and diviner giver of gifts. God has not left us vulnerable and defenseless. Rather, his vision for us includes a Companion with resilient strength. So no more walking this path alone! No more carrying weight we were not intended to bear! It's time to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the life he offers. It′s time to tap into his power... and realize that help is here.

My Sunday School class chose this study to do recently. It is a five week study on the Holy Spirit. Our favorite were the first three chapters. I read the study guide and we watched the DVD together and a few in the class had purchased the book. Each video is around 16 minutes long. We all enjoyed this study and it opened our eyes more to the Holy Spirit, but, of course, we are all fans of Max Lucado.

I read this one again and it was excellent
Not the study guide but the actual book

[Lisa Garrison · Rating 4 out of 5]

The study guide was not exactly what I thought it could have been. There are gaps, and it does not really help with telling which chapters should be read if you are reading the book along side it. I had to really dive in to figure out which chapters and with which sessions.

Good bible study.
I struggled with this one. Just couldn't get behind it like I have with others. Didn't really pull a lot from bible though..
