Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do?

In John 14, Jesus promised that the 'Holy Spirit' would appear after His departure.

"I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth." - John 14:16

Beyond this, Jesus said that the Spirit would be of great blessing to His disciples.

So, what would that blessing be?

That will be the focus of today's study in John 14.

John: The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit

Jesus, 1. The World, 0.

It wasn't even close.

Herod, Pilate, the devil, and all the Pharisees could not stop Christ's victory.

They didn't even delay it.

In John 16, Jesus said He had overcome the world - but what does that mean for you and I as believers?

That will be the focus of today's study.

John: Jesus Has Overcome The World

Some believe the world is a 'neutral' place.

But they're wrong.

The world is filled with light and shadow; good and evil, angels and demons.

The world is not neutral. It is spiritually polarized.

And that's just what Jesus told His disciples in John 15.

John: The Myth Of Spiritual Neutrality

Picture a branch.

If that branch is on the ground, it's dead.

A severed branch bears no fruit.

However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it's alive.

In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us.

Specifically, He tells us to 'abide' in Him (as a branch on a vine).

But what does the word 'abide' really mean?

That will be the focus of today's study.
