In 2019, we’ll provide a monthly reading plan centered around our blog theme for 2019: This Is Discipleship. We wanted to go ahead and provide the May reading plan for those of you that like to print it out and have it ready for the first day of the month!
This month in our reading plan, we’ll be looking at the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our discipleship. Sometimes we can get intimidated when we start thinking about the Trinity and the Holy Spirit specifically. We know we have one God who reveals Himself to us as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would be our helper, our counselor, and through Him we would be empowered to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand truth. He convicts us of sin. He cultivates our character, comforts us, and gives us the gifts by which we are able to serve God through His church.¹
You can see how the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in discipleship, yet we don’t often spend as much time reading and learning more about Him. This month, we’ll look at Scripture that tells us more about the Holy Spirit. Since He helps us to see our own sin and points us to the truth, we pray this time with Him reading about Him will help you to grow in your understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit in your life.
