Description:
Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 09/22/2019. In the middle of a discussion of the hatred of the world, Jesus inserts His third promise of the advent of the Holy Spirit. This time the focus is on His mission for the Kingdom, which will be to bear witness to its King by spreading the Gospel. He then goes on to say the disciples will do the same thing. In the context of the hatred of a world that loves darkness, Jesus describes a powerful alliance of the Kingdom of Light that will be unleashed on the world at Pentecost. We will analyze this alliance, noting the overwhelming dominance of the work of the Spirit and the privilege we have as disciples to be part of it. We will find valuable lessons in this passage and ultimately come to the realization that even though the darkened world seems to have the advantage, it cannot withstand the power or the resolve of the Kingdom Alliance.
