God With Us. God Within Us.

March 7, 2021 • Greg Lunsford

**This week we talked about God with us and within us by the gift of The Holy Spirit. Before you begin your Table Talk for this week, read John 14:15-27.**

**God is so gracious, isn’t he? As Jesus followers we are pursued, loved, cared for, and called to a life of loving God and loving people. We see God’s grace in all this that he equips us to love as he loves through the power of The Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit teaches us along the way. Dive deep into these three questions around your tables this week:**

1. Scripture tells us that God would send “another Helper” to us (John 14:16). After listening to the sermon, do you recall what the words “another” and “Helper” are communicating to us? How does having one just like God (another) walking with us and that dwells within us (Helper) give you confidence in your faith journey?
2. You may have heard the phrase, “It's about relationships not religion,” when describing the Christian faith. Although we are rescued from sin to freedom through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to a relationship, obedience still seems to be very important in our faith. Read John 14:18-24. Discuss around your tables the importance of being obedient to Jesus but not allowing that to define your relationship with Christ.
3. Testimony Time: Read John 14:26 and share stories about moments when the Holy Spirit has taught you and brought scripture to mind in a conversation. Did that strengthen your faith? How have you seen the Holy Spirit teach and move like this in your life?
