The Holy Spirit Is Our Regenerator

This week we begin a seven-part series called, "The Seven Roles of the Holy Spirit" (based on the devotional series by J. Lee Grady). Some people are spooked out by the idea of the Holy Spirit, especially if they've heard him referred to as the Holy GHOST. It puts to mind the thought of a Halloween story. So who or what is he and what is his purpose in the life of a Christian? More specifically, how does he work to regenerate our own spirits?
