Description:
Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 10/13/2019. In this, the fourth of what are known as the "Paraclete Passages", Jesus continues to reveal crucial information about the Holy Spirit who will empower the church after He leaves. In particular, He specifies the work of the Spirit, both in the world at large and especially in the hearts of those who are being transformed. We will first define the robust word "convict" and then apply all its meanings to each of the areas Jesus says the Spirit will be involved with: namely sin, righteousness, and judgment. But as we have all ready learned, the work of the Spirit in each of these areas will be to bear witness to how Christ is the only solution to the spiritual dilemmas they create. Ultimately, we will find a poignantly personal presentation of the Gospel in these words, and thereby give thanks and celebrate the work of the Spirit who convicts us of our need for Jesus.
