June 5, 2022 John 14:8-17 The Promise of the Holy Spirit

This week we discuss the way the Farewell Discourse in John’s Gospel addresses the issue of Jesus’ departure, and how the disciples would be empowered to continue his work. We also discuss the Reformers’ views on how we know God based on the cult of saints and indulgences in the medieval Catholic church. Finally we discuss some of the contemporary challenges this passage poses for us.
