John 14:16-18
Years ago, I heard a story about a guy, a young guy. He's not a very smart guy. His name was Larry. And he was a student at Duke University, but he failed out. And he went back to his little town in North Carolina and he wanted to get a job. He needed to get a job. And the sheriff in that little town, he was looking for a deputy and so little Larry said, ''Well, I want to be a deputy.'' So he told his friends, ''I'm going apply for that job. I'm going to get that job. I'm going to be a deputy.'' So he gets an interview with the sheriff. And he sits down, and the sheriff says to him, ''Okay, little Larry.'' He knew little Larry was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. And he said, ''Okay, little Larry.'' He said, ''What's one and one?'' Little Larry said, ''Eleven.'' He said, ''Well, okay.'' He said, ''Name two days of the week that start with T.'' Little Larry said, ''Today and tomorrow'' (laughter). He said, ''All right.'' He said, ''All right, little Larry. Who killed Abraham Lincoln?'' Little Larry thought and thought and thought. He said, ''Sheriff, I don't know.'' The sheriff said, ''Well, why don't you work on that one. Come back and we'll talk again next week.'' Little Larry said, ''Yes,'' and left the office. He was walking down the street. Saw some of his friends. And they said, ''Hey, little Larry, how did the interview go?'' And he said, ''It went great. It's only my first day and I'm already working on a murder case'' (laughter).
Well, today, we are embarking not on a murder case, but we're embarking on a discovery. You know a sheriff, a deputy, if they're going to research something to find out what happened, they've got to do some discovery. So we're embarking on a discovery today to discover the person and the power of the Holy Spirit. I've entitled this new series, ''The Unknown God.''
