Does the Holy Spirit tell people things in their thoughts?

Summary

The sermon discusses how the Holy Spirit speaks to believers, primarily through illuminating Scripture, the authorial Word of God. While the Spirit can also guide through affections and advice of others, these subjective experiences lack the absolute certainty of the Spirit's work in the Bible, a distinction Christians must make to avoid error. Therefore, believers should ground their understanding of the Spirit's guidance in the objective truth of God's Word, which the Spirit will never contradict.
