The Spirit exposes and comforts (John 16:5-15)

Sunday message from 18 May 2025 on John 16:5-15In this sermon, you’re invited to walk alongside Jesus and his disciples during their final meal before the cross. You’ll hear (from previous chapters before the text used as the sermon's focus) how Jesus, in an act of pure servant-hearted grace, washes the disciples’ feet—even as he predicts Judas’ betrayal. As you listen, you’ll see yourself in the disciples' confusion and doubt, especially in Peter and Thomas. But through their struggles, you'll discover the comfort Jesus shares: the promise of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—not by your efforts, but through faith in Christ alone. Unbelief is the root of sin, yet Jesus meets you with mercy and gives you his righteousness as a free gift. This conversation will leave you grounded in the peace that comes from knowing that your salvation doesn’t rest on your understanding, but on Christ’s finished work for you.Michael HartmanStay connected with our church:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discover Hidden Gems on YouTube
