Easter 6 Sermon—May 10, 2026
from Preaching among the Palms Hosted by Fr. Jeffrey Hanson
The Gospel reading for today features the New Testament's only reference to the Holy Spirit as an "advocate," or literally someone who is called alongside another. Fr. Jeff distinguishes between the ways John uses different terms for the Holy Spirit, and even refers to different works of the Holy Spirit, depending on whether Jesus is teaching publicly about the Spirit or whether he is teaching privately to his disciples about the time to come after his Ascension. Ultimately the Spirit is the key to three related ideas: communication, community, and communion.
