He Is With You Always

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 1, 2002

Do you ever feel lonely, depressed, abandoned? Jesus has three special words of encouragement for you - words that will give you comfort and purpose, especially in times when you don’t feel like going on.

This is the final in a series exploring the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and the "advantage" Jesus said He would be leaving with us. This message explores the fruit of the Spirit.

(For this sermon, a very large bowl of fruit was placed front and center on the stage. Large enough that it was noticed immediately when people came in for worship.
