The Spirit Brings Conviction
Jesus tells His disciples that it's good news that He's leaving, because as a result of Jesus' leaving He sends them the Holy Spirit. This is good news, because the Holy Spirit empowers us in advancing Jesus' mission, as He convicts the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment.
The Spirit Makes Us One
In John 17 Jesus tells us how it is that unbelieving people come to faith -- by observing the unity between believers. In this teaching we dig into what kind of unity Jesus has in mind, and how that kind of unity can be attained -- so that lost people will come to trust Jesus.

Part of the Holy Spirit's ministry is to make our adoption real in our experience so we don't just know the doctrine of adoption, but we feel the reality of adoption.
The Spirit Guarantees our Inheritance
Jesus promises His followers an inheritance that is so precious that it empowers devoted obedience, frees us for love, and strengthens us in suffering.
