Sermon Recap for May 24
Counting down, 1 more Sunday to go in Almyra. I will dearly miss being here. I also look forward to the challenges ahead.
It is somewhat appropriate that this sermon was focused on the Holy Spirit. One of my challenges in recent months has been remembering that I'm easily replaceable, but the Holy Spirit is not. As a pastor, I am both important AND disposable in the grand scheme of things.
Here's the sermon:
May 24, 2015 John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 (audio link)
I. On our own or in His power?
II. Not to draw attention to Himself....testify to Christ!
III. Righteous judgment comes via the Spirit.
IV. Sin, which the world denies, is still a problem. And there will be judgment
V. Christian maturity takes time--you are not instantly mature and wise
VI. The ongoing relationship with God is required for our growth. Through the Spirit we draw near.
VII. The Spirit does not draw us to Himself but to Christ!
Thanks for taking the time to read! Doug Hibbard
