hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

What God has prepared for those who love him,

May the Father forgive you by the death of his
Son and strengthen you to live in the power of the Spirit all your days.

Sermon notes on John 14:15-27
How Pentecost Addresses Loneliness (in
lockdown)
Jesus promises the Christian believer is never
truly alone (v18)
(1) The Spirit is Jesus with us
The Spirit’s closeness and presence – he will
be with you and in you (v17)
(2) The Spirit is Jesus speaking through the Apostles
(vv25-26)

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is,
seen and unseen.
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is,
seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,

through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

one God, now and for ever.
