We cling to what we can see. Our comfort. Our control. Our certainty. But Jesus teaches that this very clinging is the obstacle to experiencing the Spirit's true power.
In this sermon, Pastor John Hester addresses one of our biggest spiritual struggles: the desperate need to see visible proof before we'll trust God. The disciples faced this tension the night before the cross. Christ was leaving. They would lose His physical presence. And yet He said something radical—His departure was actually their gain.
That same tension lives in us today. We have the indwelling Spirit. We already live in what Christ was calling the disciples into. But how many of us are still demanding visible proof? How many of us won't witness because we can't see results? How many of us measure our faith by what we can feel or control?
This message isn't just theology. It's a call to release your grip on visible security and start trusting the invisible work of God's Spirit in and through you.
