Beloved: Gospel of John\nAuthentic Peace: Pastor Michael Dascoli\nFebruary 9, 2020 \n\nPlease turn in your Bibles to John 14:25-31\n\nAdam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Genesis 2:25\n\n\u201cI heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.\u201d Genesis 3:10\n\n1: When we\u2019re inadequate, the Holy Spirit is adequacy (V 25-26)\n\n\u201cAll this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, \nthe Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, \nwill teach you all things and will remind\nyou of everything I have said to you.\u201d\n\n2: When we\u2019re fearful, Jesus gives peace (V 27)\n\n\u201cPeace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. \nDo not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.\u201d John 14:25\n\n3: When our present seems futile, our future is secure (V 28-29)\n\n\u201cYou heard me say, \u2018I am going away and I am coming back to you.\u2019 If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.\u201d\n\nQuestion: What is your greatest hope? \n\n4: When things seem dire, Jesus is victor (V 30-31)\n\nI will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.\n\u201cCome now; let us leave.\u201d\n\nWhat has potential to feed fear?\n\n\uf0fc\tIf your focus is on circumstances\n\n\uf0fc\tIf your focus is on stuff\n\n\uf0fc\tIf your focus is on people\n\n\uf0fc\tIf your focus is on self\n\nAll Eyes on Jesus!\n\nWhat is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
