Have you ever wished God would just make things clearer? In John 16, Jesus tells His disciples that some truths won’t make sense until later—until the Holy Spirit comes. Why? Because the Spirit doesn’t just inform us; He transforms us. He convicts us of sin, reveals what’s right, and prepares us for judgment—not to shame us, but to shape us into the likeness of Jesus. This week, we’ll talk about how the Holy Spirit leads us into truth, glorifies Jesus, and helps us discern—both personally and as a church.

Jesus promised that He would not leave us as orphans—and He kept that promise through the gift of the Holy Spirit. As we begin our new series, The Spirit-Filled Life, we’re learning not just what the Holy Spirit does, but who He is: the Spirit who stays. In John 14, Jesus comforts His disciples with the truth that the Holy Spirit would not only be among them, but would live in them. This marks a fundamental shift—from God’s presence being temporary and external in the Old Testament to being permanent and internal in the New. Now, because of the cross, we are cleansed and made fit to be His dwelling place.This Spirit doesn’t come and go. He’s not a visitor. He remains.

The world will attack our identity and who we are, but our identity is not found in this world, it’s found in being a child of God. 

God didn’t design us to go it alone. From the very beginning, He created us for connection—with Him and with each other. That design finds its fullest expression in the church—not just as a place we go, but as a people we commit to.

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the heart of the gospel: Jesus didn’t wait for us to clean ourselves up—He came for us while we were still sinners. His death wasn’t just a moment in history—it was the decisive act that broke sin’s power and opened the way to new life. In love, not condemnation, God sent His Son to save us. This is resurrection hope: we are fully known, fully loved, and fully invited into new life through Jesus. The only question now is—will we receive it? 

On Sunday, we'll see Jesus enter Jerusalem, completely trusting the Father's will. We'll see the disciples obey without full understanding. We'll see the crowds praise with a shallow trust and the Pharisees reject him outright. Palm Sunday challenges us to ask, "Who do we trust, and what does this trust look like in our lives?"

The Passover was not just an event in Israel’s history—it was a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God. Just as the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites from judgment, only the blood of Christ can cover and redeem us today. Will we trust fully in His sacrifice and live in the freedom it brings?

The God who calls us, loves us, and keeps us is worthy of our worship.

False teachers are not a new problem; Scripture warns us about their presence and influence.
