There's no doubt about it: the resurrection of Jesus is the apex of the Bible. And we just had a wonderful weekend full of celebrating Jesus' victory over death! But let's rewind the tape a little bit - back to the "farewell discourse" that Jesus gave to His disciples before all the events began that led to his death, burial & resurrection. In the gospel of John, chapters 12-17, Jesus has a lot to say - not all of which was easy to swallow and a lot of it was hard to understand.

From Series: "It's Better This Way"

Welcome to our new sermon series, “It’s Better This Way”. Over two thousand years ago, in some of the last moments that Jesus had with His disciples before being arrested, He told them “It is to your advantage that I go away”. Can you imagine the perplexed looks; the furrowed brows of the disciples as they heard Jesus say this? He then adds, “…for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” (John 16:7). Who is this Helper that Jesus was referring to? Come join us this week as we introduce you to someone we’ll be getting to know better & more deeply over the next 6 weeks: the Holy Spirit.
