| 0:00.0 | A Prayer to be led by the Spirit by Emily Rose Massey, read by Leah Martin. |
| 0:22.0 | Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, Psalm 119-105. |
| 0:29.4 | What does it look like for the Holy Spirit to lead in the Christian life? |
| 0:34.9 | From the onset, I believe it's helpful to define the work of the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:41.2 | In John 16, 7-8, we see that the work of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin, |

| 1:57.0 | of what it looks like to be led by the Spirit. |
| 2:01.0 | Thankfully, as disciples of Christ were not left to human subjectivity and confusion, |
