Blaspheming the Holy Spirit

Jesus told the Pharisees and teachers of the law in Matthew 12, that "every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." Because of that statement, many have come to refer to "blaspheming the Holy Spirit" as "the unforgivable sin." But what exactly does it mean to blaspheme the Holy Spirit? Is it possible that we have done it unintentionally, and in so doing, disqualified ourselves from forgiveness?

Questions like this have led many people to view this passage through a lens of fear. In this message from our series on the Holy Spirit, Brock digs in to what Jesus was getting at when he made this incredibly bold statement against the religious elite of his day.
