     | 7,056 views

    Jesus teaches his disciples about the work of the Holy Spirit on the way from the Upper Room to Gethsemane.

    The Convicting Work of the Holy Spirit John 16:1-11 Last week we looked at Jesus’ teaching that He is the TRUE Vine, the Israel of God, and that believers are the branches, pruned by God in order to produce good and Godly spiritual fruit. Today we continue to walk with Jesus from the upper ...read more

    What's In Your Bag? Series

    As followers of Jesus we all have difficulties that face us in life. In John 16 Jesus tells us that the Holy Spirit comes to help us not only overcome but be at peace when life feels anything but peaceful. We just need to reach into the bag!

    I have something in my trunk that I carry with me at all times. Actually for a long time it was two bags. I created these bags when I worked as a television reporter. Setting out for work each day I never knew where I would be sent that day—what story I might have to cover. I had to be prepared for ...read more

    How we think and act with money is a direct reflection of how we think about and act with Jesus.

    Today I'm not telling you to give. The number one conversation that is happening right now in our city and country has to do with money. We wouldn't be helpful to you if we weren't talking about money because all of us are having a money conversation all day long and that conversation is often ill ...read more

    He Overcame Series

     | 6,212 views

    I gleaned this from a book by RC Sproul by the same title "12 Promises Christians struggle with". The question is Do we believe God or Not?

    He Overcame John 16:33ff One of the main reasons we have a problems accepting the promises of God is SIN. Sin comes so naturally to us that our default position is not to believe God. Adam and Eve failed to believe God, when the Father of lies told them “You will surely not die, you ...read more

    "It Is For Your Good That I Am Going Away."

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,169 views

    We often wish Jesus was still here today. We envy the disciples who had God in their presence. They could be with him and talk with him-physically. But here we see Jesus telling them that it’s a good thing that he’s leaving them. Let’s find out why.

    “IT IS FOR YOUR GOOD THAT I AM GOING AWAY” John 16:1-7 INTRODUCTION: We often wish Jesus was still here today. We envy the disciples who had God in their presence. They could be with him and talk with him-physically. But here we see Jesus telling them that it’s a good thing that ...read more

    The Spirit’s Personality Series

    Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 25, 2017
     | 6,264 views

    The works of the Spirit proclaim his personality. The Holy Spirit is our guide that sometimes forbids certain actions. God’s Spirit can suffer slights and injuries. The Holy Spirit can be lied to.

    THE SPIRIT’S PERSONALITY In many Christian circles the Holy Spirit is either neglected, forgotten, or misunderstood. The One given, to unite the body of Christ is the center of controversy … So often Christian work is so rigidly programmed that it seems we need no longer depend on Him ...read more

    Sing In The Power Of The Holy Spirit For A World In Desperate Need Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2021
     | 1,550 views

    The Holy Spirit should be our constant counselor and guide. We are under tremendous pressure in the Christian churches and schools these days.

    Acts 16: 11-21 and John 15: 21-27 When we listen to the Gospel of Luke and the Acts, and to the Gospel of John as well, we get the impression that the Holy Spirit was more active in the early Church than today. Paul was forbidden by the Spirit–probably warned by a prophetic utterance–not to ...read more

    Are we waiting in eager expectation for the gift of the Spirit? A heavy re-work of a much earlier sermon from many years ago, which is looking to provoke a change in peoples perspectives.

    In the Name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival.
