Introduction
Christianity is more than just feelings or Sunday experiences
The Greek word for "breath" and "spirit" (pneuma) is the same word
The connection between breath, life, and the Spirit of God
The Spirit Gives Us Access to the Mind of God
1 Corinthians 2:10-13 - The Spirit searches the depths of God
Just as our breath enters our brain before we speak, God's Spirit knows His thoughts
Through the Spirit, believers have special access to God's wisdom
The Story of Joseph: Dreams and Divine Purpose
Joseph's dreams came directly from God
His brothers' rejection couldn't stop God's purpose
Jesus is the greater Joseph
Rejected by his brothers
Through death, brought salvation
Gave up His breath so we could receive it
The Life-Changing Power of the Spirit
Romans 8:11 - The same Spirit that raised Jesus lives in believers
Having the Spirit means our lives should visibly change
The Spirit transforms our character and disposition
The Treasures of Knowing God Deeply
Access to the depths of God means access to deeper joy
The Spirit brings transformation to others through us
There's always more treasure to discover in Christ

Don't let the world make you feel strange for showing Christian character
Don't snatch away what God is trying to do in your life
