Religion & Spirituality
Jesus didn’t just tell His disciples to hang on tight and survive — He promised they would do greater works than even He did. Not more powerful, but more expansive. In this week’s lesson, William Hamilton walks us through the second half of John 14 and shows that “greater works” isn’t about hype, platforms, or personal glory. It’s about Spirit-empowered obedience, covenantal love that manifests in actual submission, and a church that is on mission.
The Spirit didn’t descend to make us comfortable — He descended to make us dangerous to darkness.
Key Takeaways:
- Greater works doesn’t mean flashier signs. It means the global advance of Christ’s dominion through His people.
- To pray in Jesus’ name means to align with His mission, not to summon Him to bless your wishlist.
- Love for Christ is proven by obedience. Sentimental faith that never submits is just self-deception.
- The Spirit of Truth isn’t an accessory to the Christian life. He is Christ continuing His work through us.
- Christ left, not to abandon us, but to send His Spirit and draw us into His mission. We’re not orphans. We’re sons in the household of God.
- The peace of Christ is not a vacation from hardship. It’s victory declared in the middle of war.
