Manage episode 411140727 series 3030156
A 12-week sermon series from the Bible as we preach through our proposed statement of faith. Pastor James continues our series looking at John 16:4-15.
"I needed God in a personal way – not as an object of my study, but as friend, guide, comforter. I needed an existential experience of the Holy One…I found the Scriptures to be helpful – even authoritatively helpful – as a guide. But without feeling God, the Bible gave me little solace…I found a longing to get closer to God, but found myself unable to do so through my normal means: exegesis, scripture reading, more exegesis. I believe that I had depersonalized God so much that when I really needed him I didn’t know how to relate." - Daniel Wallace
“The Spirit’s message to us is never, ‘Look at me; listen to me; come to me; get to know me,’ but always, ‘Look at him; and see his glory; listen to him, and hear his word; go to him, and have life; get to know him; and taste his gift of joy and peace.’” - J.I. Packer
