Holy Spirit: Our Convictor

Jul 16, 2023    Paster Haylee Hart

This sermon from the Gospel of John explains the role of the Holy Spirit in convicting the world. Jesus, speaking to his disciples before his ascension, describes the Spirit as a "Helper" who will come to them and reveal truth. This truth will expose sin, by highlighting the lack of belief in Jesus; it will reveal righteousness, by showing Jesus' ascension to the Father, a point the disciples will not be able to see with their own eyes; and it will demonstrate judgment, through the defeat of the ruler of this world, Satan. Pastor Haylee emphasizes the Spirit's role as a guide towards freedom and truth, contrasting the enemy's attempt to use exposure as a weapon of destruction. She suggests that by acknowledging our weaknesses and allowing others to help us, we can overcome our pride and embrace growth.
