Calhoun Baptist Church News February, 24, 2013~
Rev. David Van Bebber, Pastor:
Brother David opened our worship services with prayer this morning. He
welcomed everyone and announced the coming events. It was so good to be in the house of the Lord this wonderful Sabbath day!
Brother David’s key scripture for his sermon was chosen from the Book of John Ch.15:26 -27 niv.
The Work of the Holy Spirit
26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
Jesus told them, his disciples, when the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will
testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
Jesus was preparing his disciples for the time when He would not be with them no longer on earth. He wanted them to know what was going to happen to him. The Father would send the Holy Spirit .
Jesus introduced the subject of the world. There would be conflict. The disciples will have to bear much persecution, but they will produce much fruit also. The disciples will be effective in spreading the gospel.
Within this discussion about the world, Jesus speaks about the Helper. The Helper will testify about Jesus and so will the disciples. Like the early disciples, we must lift up and exalt Jesus.
The Helper will empower us to witness.
