 Sermon on 1/18/26 by Pastor Todd Sapp

Do you ever feel like the loneliest person in the universe? Whether you are dealing with seasonal loneliness or a deeper sense of isolation, this message brings powerful assurance from John 14:15-31. Jesus promised his disciples—and us—that we would never be left as orphans.

In this study, we explore the "Second Helper," the Holy Spirit, and how His indwelling presence transforms our lives. Discover why obedience is a reflection of our love for Christ, how the Holy Spirit acts as our divine "Paraclete," and why the ascension of Jesus was actually the best thing for our spiritual growth. If you feel alone, frustrated, or helpless, learn how to tap into a legacy of peace that the world cannot give.

Key Topics Covered:

• The Loneliness of Michael Collins: Lessons on solitude from the Apollo 11 mission.
• Obedience as a Thermometer: How keeping Jesus' commandments reflects the temperature of our love.
• The Paraclete: Understanding the Holy Spirit as our permanent, on-time Helper.
• Orphans No More: Why the resurrection of Jesus ensures we are never truly alone.
• Spiritual Fruit vs. Self-Confidence: Why "self-control" is actually Spirit-control.
• Intercession at the Throne: How Jesus advocates for us at the right hand of the Father.
