Are there certain spiritual gifts that show the activity of the Holy Spirit? (tongues, prophecy, etc.)
If Jesus defers to the Father, does the Holy Spirit do the same?
How can you tell if something is the leading/guidance/voice of the H.S?
Does the Holy Spirit influence people that do not have faith in God?
The Father and Son seem to have gender specific description. Is the Holy Spirit described in a gender specific manner?

I’m sure that I will get to some of these over the course of the series. Keep ‘em coming!

Specifically in prayer and through the study of God’s Word, the role of the Father and the Son are understandable. But, how and when should we be specifically addressing the Spirit? Intercession, thanksgiving, praise – all of the above? I, personally, do not feel that I adequately address the Spirit by name in my prayers. Looking forward to hearing this series and growing as a result of it.

What is the origination of that gender personification?
