The Work of the Spirit (2)
Series: Advantage
Josh Malone
John 15:26-16:15
Last week we started a new series. Explain- Advantage: The Holy Spirit and You
Last week we learned about the promise of His presence. The Holy Spirit is a person. You can't manipulate Him, or use Him. He's not some thing. He's a person with His own mind, will, emotions. He indwells every believer. If you are a believer, you have the promised powerful presence of the Spirit of the Living God in your your life today.
Today, I want to talk about His promised ministry. What's the Spirit up to? He has come in power, so what is He doing? We won't be able to cover everything, but I want to cover the key things Jesus does in John 15 & 16.
We need to know what the Spirit is up to so we can join Him in His work and so we can know what He desires to do in and through our life.

In 15:26 you see the Trinity at work in unison. Jesus will send the Spirit, who proceeds from the Father--- Remember Jesus was also SENT.
Jn. 3:17- For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
- God sent Jesus, on a mission with a purpose, to seek and save sinners, to inaugurate the Kingdom of God. ---- The Spirit's work is a continuation of Jesus' mission. He's one like Christ, another helper. He comes to continue the work of advancing the Kingdom of God.
The reason Jesus could say, "...whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Fa ...
