John 14:15–21 | The Lord Jesus Christ: Life and Wisdom Forever | Scott Goodman | July 27, 2025

Pastor Scott opens with a tender reminder — we need God's nearness like a sick child needs their mother — and then walks us through John 14:15–21, unpacking how Jesus equips us with wisdom and life. Drawing from the wisdom books (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job), he shows how true wisdom begins in the fear of the Lord, how love for Christ is expressed by keeping His commandments, and how the Holy Spirit (the Parakletos) is our ever-present Helper and strength. This message calls us to patient endurance (hupomone), to live as temples of the Spirit, and to rest in the gospel: the cross paid the price so we might be made righteous and secure in God’s love.

Key takeaways:

- A wise life requires patient endurance (hupomone) to remain with Jesus.

- If you are in Christ, you are a temple of the Holy Spirit — He is the fulfilling life.

- The gospel proves God’s holiness and love: the cross is real payment, and we are truly justified and secure.
