How well can you truly know someone?
How well can you truly know God?
As we gain information about the people around us, we create an understanding of that person in our minds. To know others is a process from the outside-in. Information from outside, about a person, comes to inside us.
To truly know God comes only from the Holy Spirit. To truly know God, comes from the inside-out, not from within us, but from the gift of God’s Spirit, given to teach, guide and comfort His people.
As Jesus prepares His disciples to continue God’s mission after His death, Jesus teaches the disciples about the promised presence of the person of Holy Spirit, with its purpose of teaching and comforting those whom Jesus has called by name.

The Son: The Spirit of Understanding & Comfort
Preached by Rev. Canon Brian Roberts on Sunday, May 26th, 2019
Guest Speaker, Rev. Canon Brian Roberts, former BCA National Director, shares 100 years of taking the Gospel of Jesus to the rural and remote parts of our land.
As we continue our series on the Holy Spirit, we learn that the despite the constant failures of God’s people to live pleasing lives to God, fulfilling their purpose to be a blessing to other nations, God remains faithful.
His grace and patience aren’t limitless, and when His Holy name is profaned, God acts and judges His people. He acts precisely because of His Holy Name, both in judging Israel and in promising to redeem them. He promised to make Israel a great nation. So He redeems them, promising to place within us, a new heart, and His Spirit.
The problem with humanity, is the human heart.
