In this final episode of The Helper series, Pastor John Romick shares how the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit transforms chaos into order, weakness into strength, impossibilities into victories, and even brings dead things back to life through the truth of Romans 8:11.
In this message by Pastor John Romick, we see that although it's common to desire God to "speak louder" so we can hear Him, He desires us to draw closer so that we hear the sound of His still small voice clearly.
This Message is brought to you by the Senior Pastor of the global, multicampus ministry, Petra Christian Centre, Pastor Ayo Ajani.

In Pray in the Holy Spirit, part 2 of our series The Helper, Pastor Joel Sims teaches that being filled with the Holy Spirit isn't a side topic in the New Testament—it's central to the life of every believer. Learn how the Spirit empowers us to grow personally, serve in God's kingdom, and share the gospel with those around us and across the world.
We all must decide whether it will trust our own strength or if our Help comes from our God. The future belongs to those who forgive freely, fight faithfully, and live continually filled with the Helper.
This weekend, our longtime friend, Pastor Chris Romine, traveled all the way from Kentucky to deliver a powerful message on the Holy Spirit.“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” – John 14:15-18May we continue to fellowship with and partner with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to guide not only our daily decisions but also our new lives in Christ!Restore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastors | https://www.restorechurchyorkville.comChris Romine, Special Guest | https://www.greaterharvestnow.com/
In John 16:7-15, Jesus prepares His disciples for His impending departure by offering one of the most comforting and profound teachings in the New Testament about the Holy Spirit. He assures them that His physical absence is actually for their benefit, as it clears the way for the "Helper" or Advocate to guide, comfort, and empower believers.

John 16:32 “Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.” Sometimes, it feels like we are all alone. There's no one to stand with us. In Jesus' hour of betrayal, there was no one standing with Him. The apostle Paul faced such an hour. He wrote to Timothy in 2 Tim. 4:16-17, “At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me.” Jesus and Paul were left alone, yet, they were not alone. The Father was with Jesus in His hour of trial and Jesus was with Paul in his hour of trial. Whatever trial believers face, regardless of how they feel or regardless of the circumstances, they are not alone. Jesus is with them. He promised to be with His disciples forever when He told them in John 14:16 “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever.” The disciples at that moment did not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, so moments later, they were scattered. We do have the Holy Spirit, the power and presence of Jesus, dwelling within us. So even though there are times we may feel alone and it appears there is no one with us, we are not alone. He lives to love in and through us. Acknowledgment: Music from “Carried by the Father” by Eric Terlizzi. www.ericterlizzi.com

Motherhood changes everything—including your marriage.In this first episode of my summor of mentorship series, I'm sharing the conversation I wish someone had invited me into years ago. If we were sitting across from each other with a cup of coffee, these are the things I'd want every mom to know.Parenting is one of the greatest blessings, but it can also become one of the biggest stress tests on a marriage. The shift from dating and dreaming together to managing schedules, diapers, sports, meals, and endless logistics can leave even the healthiest couples feeling disconnected.The good news? You're not alone, and your marriage doesn't have to become another casualty of the busy parenting years.In this episode, we talk about: Why parenting often creates tension in marriage—and why that's completely normal. How different parenting styles can actually become one of your family's greatest strengths. The danger of keeping score and how resentment quietly grows. Practical communication habits that help couples stay connected. A simple weekly marriage check-in you can start this Sunday. The power of praying together, especially when parenting feels overwhelming. How small daily habits shape a strong marriage over time. One truth I hope you'll remember this week:Your parenting differences don't have to divide you. They can become one of your greatest strengths when you choose to work as a team.God never intended for us to navigate marriage and motherhood alone. The Holy Spirit is our Helper—the One who comes alongside us, gives us wisdom, and strengthens us for the work He's called us to do. When we bring our parenting struggles to Him first, we make room for His peace, wisdom, and perspective.Connect with Dr. Kim Kimberling: Website: Awesome Marriage — Marriage, Relationships Instagram: Christian Marriage | Help & Education (@awesome_marriage) Facebook: Awesome Marriage Links Mentioned: Don't Mom Alone: By Heather MacFadyen [book]Related Episodes: How to Align with Your Spouse in Parenting :: Dr. Kim Kimberling [Ep 491] Self-Differentiation and Why it Matters :: Nancy Houston [Ep 335] Talking, Teens, and Twenty-four Years :: Bruce + Heather [Ep 399] Featured Sponsors: Honeylove: Treat yourself to the most advanced bras and shapewear on the market.

Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? If so, are you acting like it? In this first message of our new series "The Helper", Pastor Joel Sims shows us from the scriptures the 3 baptisms. Baptism into Jesus, which is salvation; baptism into water, which is repentance, or leaving behind your sin and this world; and baptism in the Holy Spirit, giving you power to be a witness to Jesus.
What if the “more” we are asking God for begins with giving Him more of us?In this message, Pastor Eileen kicks off our brand new summer series, More, by teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit is not a force, an energy, or something strange to avoid. He is fully God, fully personal, and fully present to help us follow Jesus. Pastor Eileen reminds us that the Holy Spirit is our advocate, helper, coach, and the Spirit of truth. He convicts, confirms, carries, illuminates, and empowers us to live a life that reflects Jesus.This message is an invitation to make room for more of God's presence in our lives. As we begin this series, we are asking the Holy Spirit to bring fresh fire, awaken our hearts, reveal truth, and lead us deeper into the life Jesus has for us.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs a reminder that help is here and the Holy Spirit is closer than we think.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.Timestamps0:00 – Independence Weekend Welcome1:00 – Welcome from Pastor Eileen1:53 – Venture Is a Place to Belong2:18 – Introducing the More Series2:47 – Giving God More of Us3:17 – Opening Prayer4:23 – Leaning Into God's Word5:17 – Making Room for More7:58 – Fresh Fire and the Person of the Holy Spirit8:20 – Who Is the Holy Spirit?9:22 – People Can Be Weird, But God Is Not Weird9:47 – Dove, Fire, Wind, and River as Metaphors10:43 – John 14 and the Promise of Another Advocate11:40 – The Upper Room Discourse12:47 – Another Advocate of the Same Kind13:33 – Help from Heaven14:03 – The Holy Spirit Is Fully God14:32 – Understanding the Trinity15:00 – The Holy Spirit in Creation15:12 – The Holy Spirit in the Life and Ministry of Jesus16:16 – The Holy Spirit Has a Personality17:30 – The Holy Spirit Has Emotions18:06 – Help Is Here19:20 – The Holy Spirit Has a Specific Role19:44 – The Spirit of Truth20:18 – Truth in a Confusing World21:24 – Feelings Can Be Real, But Not Always True22:13 – The Holy Spirit Represents Jesus22:43 – The Holy Spirit Is the Game Changer23:40 – The Survivor Advantage Illustration24:43 – The Holy Spirit as Advocate, Helper, and Coach25:11 – The Voice of the Coach26:28 – The Holy Spirit Takes Residence in Us27:28 – The Holy Spirit Convicts28:18 – The Spotlight on Sin29:09 – The Holy Spirit Reveals What Sin Conceals29:38 – The Holy Spirit Illuminates Truth30:31 – The Holy Spirit Extends the Love of Jesus Through Us31:06 – Living on Mission Across the Street31:49 – Mother Hunter's Story33:07 – Jesus Prayers and a Life of Witness33:57 – What Does the Holy Spirit Want to Say to You?34:37 – Making Room for More of God35:18 – Worship Response38:33 – Pastor Brandon Responds39:04 – What Happened?39:37 – Conviction Unlocks Something New40:43 – Summer Service Schedule Reminder41:05 – What's Next and Popsicles41:31 – Closing Prayer

Who is the Holy Spirit, and how does He work in our everyday lives? In this roundtable discussion, our team sits down for an honest, deep conversation about the third person of the Trinity. While the Holy Spirit can sometimes feel mysterious or misunderstood, the Scriptures show us a Helper who is personal, powerful, and deeply invested in our spiritual growth.

And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”John 16:5-75 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?' 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.Ephesians 1:1313 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,Luke 3:1616 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.John 14:15-1715 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.Romans 8:18 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,John 14:2626 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.1 Peter 5:77 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.Matthew 11:2828 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.John 16:1313 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.Romans 15:1313 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.Romans 8:1111 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.Ephesians 2:8-98 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.Galatians 2:1616 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.1 Corinthians 11:23-2623 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.

This week, Pastor Jordan Greer continued our All Sufficient sermon series with a message from John 3:1-8. He reminded us that God's grace frees us from striving to earn His love or control our own lives, while challenging us to surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit, who not only gives us new life but also empowers us to walk in obedience by yielding to the power of the ever-present Helper.
Welcome to our Podcast. Listen to Rev. Lincoln Larsen as he preaches on Genesis 2:18-20A Helper Fit for Him
This week we’ve studied what our lives looks like without the Holy Spirit. Without God’s influence, without God’s direction over our life, we naturally drift toward dysfunction, selfishness, broken relationships, and sin. Left to ourselves, our sinful nature becomes the driving force behind our decisions, our attitudes, and our actions. That’s exactly what Paul describes in Galatians 5. He paints an honest picture of what life looks like when the flesh is in control. It’s not a list meant to shame us – it’s a mirror showing us what every one of us is capable of apart from God. But thank God, we’re not left there. The good news is that God didn’t simply save us from our sin; He gave us His very presence. When we place our faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us. We are no longer left to navigate this life in our own strength. We have a Helper, a Guide, a Teacher, and the very power of God at work in us. So before we can understand the fruit of the Spirit, we have to understand the Spirit Himself. Who is the Holy Spirit? Why did God give Him to us? What is His purpose in our lives? And what does it actually look like to live under His influence every day? The fruit of the Spirit isn’t about trying harder to become a better person. It’s about allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us from the inside out. I spent many years not understanding who the Holy Spirit is and what it mean to have this influence in my life. Maybe you’re in that place. This doesn’t quite make sense to you. It can be a little confusing, so lets slow down to understand. Quite simply, the Holy Spirit is God HIMSELF. God reveals himself to us in 3 ways which we call the trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – all God. Think of it this way, the Father loved us, the Son saved us, the Spirit changes us. The Holy Spirit is God’s very own presence dwelling within us. Before Jesus returned to Heaven after his crucifixion, he made an incredible promise. In John 14: 16-17, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. You will know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.” In verse 23, Jesus says, “We will come and make our home in each one who loves me.” Jesus had been walking with his disciples. He had been living with them, teaching them, guiding them. In flesh, he was there with them. Now, before he returns to Heaven, he is promising for everyone who loves him, they will be given ANOTHER who will actually live in you and never leave you. The Greek, word translated “another” means another of the same kind. So we have been given someone exactly like Jesus in nature and purpose to live inside of us. That’s the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit makes God’s presence permanent in everyone who believes in him. As real as Jesus walked this earth as God in human form, God now lives within us in Spirit form. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live like Jesus. So this isn’t about trying harder and harder, this is about allowing God to live through us. In the Old Testament, God’s Spirit dwelt in the tabernacle and later in the temple. Occasionally his Spirit would come upon specific people for specific purposes. Through the cleansing power of Jesus to make us holy and righteous, God Spirit is now available to each of us and we become his temple. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19, “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God.” For real, God now lives within us! My mind can’t comprehend that, but by faith I choose to believe it. Do you? Let’s look at 3 things the Holy Spirit does: He teaches us, empowers us and transforms us. The Holy Spirit teaches us. When you read the Bible and actually understand it, that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. When you listen to this podcast or a sermon and it hits just right, that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. When you’re living your regular life and you remember what God said about it, that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. What a lot of people describe as a “gut feeling” is actually the prompting of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit empowers us. Acts 1:8, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” Have you ever been stronger than you ever thought you could be? Girl, that was the Holy Spirit. Have you ever had the power to do things you never thought you could do? That’s the power from the Holy Spirit. We’re so quick to think we’re weak and incapable, but as a believer, remember who is living within you. God himself is inside of you! His power is in you! So yes, you do have the strength for this through the Holy Spirit. Yes, you are good enough. Yes, you are capable. Remember what’s in you! And ultimately what the Holy Spirit does within us is he transforms us. That’s where the Fruit of the Spirit comes in in Galatians 5. WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, we are changed naturally. This change isn’t something we have to force and will, it’s a change that grows in us and makes us more like Jesus. That’s the goal of the Holy Spirit, to make us more and more like Jesus. As we move to the right side of our list and begin to see what it looks like to live under the influence of the Holy Spirit, rather than without him, think of it like this: If you are under the influence of alcohol, you think different, you talk different, you walk different, you have different emotions, and you make different decisions. Why? Because you’re under the influence of that alcohol so you operate different. Now, think of the influence of the Holy Spirit in your life. It changes everything. You think different under the influence of the Holy Spirit. The way you see things changes. The way you see people changes. Your thought process is changed. You talk different under the influence of the Holy Spirit. You don’t even want to be in the conversations you were once in. You walk different with different emotions, making different decisions. Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, your desires are literally changed. Your heart begins to align with God’s heart and you begin to pursue the things he created you for. And what happens when there’s a different life within us – FRUIT! Fruit is evidence of life. An apple tree doesn’t struggle to tape apples to its branches to look more like an apple tree. An apple tree just naturally produces apples. When the Holy Spirit lives within us, we don’t have to struggle and strive, we just surrender and then we naturally produce the Fruit of the Spirit. This is what makes us more and more like Jesus.

Holy Spirit, you know what's going on inside of me and God's heartbeat over me.Scripture: Romans 8:26Keywords: Prayer; communing; Holy Spirit; Helper; connection; deepest longings.Best of, Summer.
Rated RHave you ever needed an advocate? Someone more proficient or knowledgeable than you were on a subject or situation. When it comes to spiritual things, we most definitely need one. That advocate is Jesus! More specifically, the Holy Spirit. He takes what we are trying to say to God or don't know what to say at all, and makes it clear to God on our behalf. Pretty spectacular!
John 16:14 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.” Even as Jesus glorified His father by revealing the Father, so the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus by revealing Him. We may glorify God also as we reveal Jesus in the world. The Holy Spirit takes the mind and love of Christ and discloses it to us as He did to His disciples. Listen to the fulfillment of Jesus' words explained by the apostle Paul to the Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, 12-13. “But just as it is written, ‘Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.' For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.” 12-13. “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.” The only way to live to love with Jesus is to receive that which is of Jesus given to us by the Holy Spirit. In this way, Jesus is glorified. His life is manifested in and through the lives of believers who are filled with the Holy Spirit, and thus they think like Jesus, speak the words of Jesus, and love like Jesus. I hope you are encouraged today to abide in Christ by receiving what He gives you through your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Tune in to the Spirit of truth, your Helper and Guide. What a privilege Jesus' disciples have to receive from the Holy Spirit the things that belong to our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ.

What's a Mother's Helper...and do you need one? Also - can the magic 8ball be wrong?
The Holy Spirit, God's Personal Relationship Presence, Is Our Life's Ultimate Counselor and Helper – the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your relationship with God is a continuous and not a one-time event; therefore, followers of Jesus are to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit, as we are told in Acts 2:3-4: “And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.". We should ask the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit every day. You need the continuous refreshing of the Holy Spirit because YOU are a broken vessel – you sin; you get tired; you work hard; you act stupid; and you rebel against God. Be filled with the Holy Spirit now – filled in this moment of the present. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, the presence of God in our lives in a personal relationship, provides us with the ultimate counselor and helper in our life – the Creator of the Universe. Do you ask the Holy Spirit to fill you every day to experience the continuous power of God's gift? TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I relate to Peter's headstrong nature, and to his struggle to understand what you were telling him. It is difficult for me to understand how you are running the universe and my place in it. Transform my stubborn will, O Lord. Teach me to wait on you. Help me to trust you. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 95). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Inconsistencies. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Faithfulness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ephesians 5:21; Acts 2:1-4; 1 Peter 4:1-6; Psalms 31b:13-24. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

In this roundtable discussion, our team sits down for an honest, deep conversation about the third person of the Trinity. While the Holy Spirit can sometimes feel mysterious or misunderstood, the Scriptures show us a Helper who is personal, powerful, and deeply invested in our spiritual growth.
