Greater Things Ahead

Sermon Quick Summary

God is so good and faithful; God can be trusted. For many of us the year 2025 seems like living in the distant future. God was faithful in the past, is faithful in the present, and can be trusted for the future. In John 14:7-12, Jesus makes a statement that is an exciting invitation for each of us about what lies ahead for followers of Christ. Jesus declares that knowing Jesus is the key to knowing God because Jesus and God are one. The vision of Jesus for the future is a result of Jesus going to God the Father. God’s Holy Spirit is the source of divine power that resides in followers of Jesus who can experience the power of the Risen Lord to do greater things. Examples of greater things by the followers of Jesus guided by the Holy Spirit include a declaration of faith during baptism and receiving the right-hand fellowship as new members.
