This week we continued our journey through the Gospel of John with a look at what Jesus told us about the coming of the Holy Spirit.

John 16:5-9 says:

“But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment..."

Still in His last days, Jesus is telling the disciples that they've been so focused on the fact that He's going to leave them, that they haven't even asked them where He's going. Talk about self centered! But, He also gives them good news - that His leaving will usher in the coming of the Holy Spirt. Awesome!

There will be no more regular cell meetings for the month of August. August 14th begins the Father/Son and Mother/Daughter weekends. August 21st will be right in the middle of our Back to School Revivals, and on August 28th we will be attending the Youth and Children's Congress in Hartford. More details on that will follow.
