Why is Jesus so constantly talking about the Holy Spirit?
Without the Holy Spirit there's no remedy for our spiritual blindness and cluelessness
With the Holy Spirit we can be taken into realms of experience and transformation that we can't imagine.

There’s a whole field now called happiness studies—whole departments in academia are dedicated to happiness studies. And of all the things I’ve read, none of them are as nuanced as what Jesus says.
Jesus says one of the main resources his disciples need in life is joy. And he says joy is something he gives. In John 15:11, he says, “I give you my joy that your joy may be complete,” but he doesn’t elaborate on it. In John 16, he gives us more information.
What does John 16 tell us about the joy that Jesus gives? Five things: that this joy 1) is inevitable, 2) is not circumstantial, 3) is thoughtful, 4) is prayerful, and 5) is based on wonder.

We all want peace, contentment, groundedness. And Jesus says, he will give us his peace. But he doesn’t just zap us with it. He says it comes through learning who he is.
John 16 is the end of the training course Jesus gives his disciples. It’s just before he dies, and verse 28 summarizes everything he’s been saying: he explains who he is, how he came, why he came, and what he accomplished. But the key to this whole thing is in verse 33 where he says, “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Jesus has been teaching about himself. And he says this doctrine leads to peace, but only if you do two things. So let’s look at this under two headings: 1) what is this doctrine that you need in order to have peace? and 2) what are you supposed to do with it?

Summer Psalms
SUMMER PSALMS
This week there will be no audio sermon to listen to as you prepare for Sunday worship. Instead, we will be reading A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller. Chapters 7-12 will be discussed. Use the contact information below to request a copy of the book if you do not already have one to work from.
As you read, highlight what moves you and star at least one point from each chapter that you would like to include in our group discussion. Knowing that this is the most familiar psalm and many, many sermons have been written about it, it will be wonderful to see what new insight may be gained as we gather together to first sing Psalm 23 to our LORD and then let the Holy Spirit guide us in our following discussions.

Scripture for the next four weeks of Advent: Isaiah 9: 1-7 ESV
For to Us a Child is Born
1 But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light: those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.
3 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.
5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Who is Isaiah?
- His name Yesha'yahu means Jehovah saves or salvation of Jehovah
- He was the son of Amoz and live between 840 and 420 BC
- He was a prophet of God, his message the Messiah is coming as a suffering servant has been fulfilled, his message that the Messiah will come again as a conquering king has yet to be fulfilled
- He died a martyr and was sawn in two
- He wrote the book of Isaiah which has 66 chapters, the first 39 reveal God's character and judgement, the last 27 show God's comfort and redemption (The Bible has 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament)
Notes from Guidelines for Interpreting Prophecy found in The New Inductive Study Bible ESV
- Prophecy is meant to affect the conduct of those who hear it
- Prophecy builds faith when it is fulfilled
- Prophecy pertains to near future or future (without a date defined)

In this sermon we begin a Christmas series entitled, "Messiah". In this four-week series we will walk through the ancient prophesies in Isaiah nine and unpack the four titles that were given to the promised Messiah who we now know came in the person of Jesus! This sermon will focus on the title, "Wonderful Counselor" and set us up with a framework for understanding "The fear of the Lord (as) the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10).

In this, second of four, Advent messages coming out of Isaiah 9:6 we look at the name Almighty God and consider how Jesus could be both God and man and what the implications of that are for us.
-
In this sermon we will look at the third title for Jesus found in Isaiah 9:6 -- Everlasting Father. What does it mean that Jesus is Everlasting Father? And if He is, how should we feel about approaching Him?

As we finish off this Advent series, we look at the final name of the Messiah Jesus and ask: how can Jesus be called the Prince of Peace when there seems to be such little peace in the world?
