Yoked With Christ, Our Helper

Sermonette by Ted E. Bowling

The Paracletos (Helper or One who goes alongside) clarifies the biblical metaphor of taking Christ's yoke, which eases burdens because He shares them.

The Helper and the Angel of the Lord

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

Christ frequently used 3rd person titles, such as the Son of Man and the Helper. Just as Christ sent the Helper—Himself—so Yahweh sent His Angel—Himself.

Our Help

Sermon by Bill Onisick

The woman was created to be a strong, equal, complementary partner. Marriage was intended to mirror the intimacy between Christ and the church.

The Two Shall Become One

Sermon by Bill Onisick

The fact that Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon multiplied wives does not imply that the Bible endorses polygamy, which produces bad fruit.

Hebrews (Part Fourteen): Chapter 2, A Mind Bending Purpose (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Without a meaningful relationship with Christ, God's people cannot possibly bear fruit. Our responsibility is to yield to God's creative work in our lives.

Living by Faith: God's Grace (Part Four)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Jesus Christ is the source of the grace believers receive, and He personally helps them in their spiritual creation. John 1:16 says "of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace," a continuous flow of empowerment, blessing upon blessing, from the Son to His people for as long as they accept and use it. Before His death, Jesus comforted the apostles who feared being left alone by promising "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you," and "We will come to you and make Our home with him." The Helper, the Spirit of truth, is the means by which the Father and the Son are continually and personally involved in each believer's life. There is no third person of a trinity coming; it is the Father and the Son. This presence is itself one of God's most gracious gifts, giving power to carry out responsibilities and to grow. Jesus is the manna from heaven, the food believers partake of through His Word, understood with the Spirit's help. He is the personification of grace and its synonym, teaching, empowering, and giving wisdom and discernment. Believers are justified by His blood but saved by His life, because He lives and works hands-on as High Priest to prepare them for the Kingdom. He may be failed, but He will not fail.
