The work of the Holy Spirit - Paraclete (John 15 and 16)

When Jesus is describing the work of the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he uses a Greek word which is hard to translate because of its wide variety of meanings. The word is transliterated into English as paraclete (not parakeet- that's a bird). As we unfold the meanings and aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit - Paraclete, we see just how good it is and what a great gift that God sends us his Holy Spirit! This sermon was preached on Pentecost Sunday, May 27th 2012, at St John's Southgate Lutheran Church. It is designed to be used with the bible study found at this link.
