In this episode we talk about how the reality of Jesus' resurrection leads to our joy, specifically as it related to Jesus' own words to His disciples about the sorrow they would have of not seeing Him, and then the joy they would have in seeing Him.

Pastor John Miller continues our topical series, entitled “The Upper Room Discourse,” an in-depth look at the Gospel of John chapters 13-17, delivering a message through John 16:1-15
In Acts 19 the Apostle Paul makes a return trip to Ephesus and encounters twelve disciples where he asks them if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. I believe if the Apostle Paul were here today he would ask that same question of some Christians today. There was something lacking in the disciples that led to that question being asked. Oftentimes there are Christians who don't have an understanding of the Holy Spirit and His role in the life of the believer. While the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not necessary for salvation, it is needed to be an effective witness in the world today.

One of the hardest parts of life is the suffering and sorrow that consistently happens to each and every person. Why would a good and loving God allow horrific tragedies to happen to His people? And since evil very obviously exists in our world, is it true that God really is good and loving? In […]
The peace and joy that Jesus gives us is beyond comprehension.
What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to have guided the disciples into all the truth? What would that have meant to them, and how did such guidance manifest itself to them after Jesus left? And how can that boost our confidence when it comes to reading the Word of God today? We explore these things in this episode.

In this episode, we begin to look at John 16, where Jesus encourages His disciples regarding the sending of the Helper, and explaining how such a gift from God will work in convicting the world that persecutes His people. We will learn what He means when He says that the Holy Spirit will convict the world regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment.

John 16:16-33 (Dave Delaney) 05 Oct 2025 by Pine Rivers Vineyard
This week, we pause to reflect on the powerful lives of faithful leaders who have recently gone home to be with the Lord—Voddie Baucham, Charlie Kirk, John MacArthur, Phil Robertson, and James Dobson. Their bold witness reminds us that even in seasons of loss and hardship, God is still at work drawing people to Himself. In John 16:25-33, Jesus tells His disciples plainly that trouble is coming—but He also gives them the promise of peace: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” In this message, we look at: The assurance of direct access to the Father through Jesus Christ The reality of trials, persecution, and cultural opposition to the gospel Why fearing God more than man gives us courage to stand firm How to welcome and disciple those God is bringing into His family right now If you've been wrestling with fear, pressure, or uncertainty, this message is for you. Jesus is our peace in the storm, and He has already overcome the world.
John 15:26 - John 16:15 (Kirk Delaney) 28 Sept 2025 by Pine Rivers Vineyard
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.” (John 16:13 NLT) “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.” One of the core truths that the Holy Spirit guides us into involves righteousness. If you were to ask a random assortment of people whether they consider themselves righteous, most would probably say yes. Most people like to think of themselves as good, relatively speaking. Most people also recognize that there are certain plateaus of goodness. At the top are the saints who sacrifice almost everything to help others. Their goodness puts everyone else to shame, although they would be much too humble to ever acknowledge that. Most of us resign ourselves to the fact that we will never reach their level of righteousness. So, we settle for good enough. We say things like, “I may not always be an angel, but I’m not a devil either,” or “At least I’m not as bad as certain other people,” or “I may not be perfect, but I have a good heart.” We treat righteousness like the cut line in a golf tournament. We just have to be good enough—or just a little better than others. The problem is that, when it comes to righteousness, perfection is the cut line. That’s the truth the Holy Spirit guides us into. The apostle Paul wrote, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard” (Romans 3:23 NLT). In Jesus’ day, the scribes and Pharisees were revered for their righteousness. They spent their days contemplating and debating the smallest details of God’s law. They observed every ritual. They held themselves to the highest religious standards. Yet Jesus said, “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” (Matthew 5:20 NLT). I remember the first time I read that as a young Christian. I thought, “Now wait a second. Weren’t the Pharisees extremely devout men? How could my righteousness exceed theirs?” Here’s how: Theirs was a false righteousness. Theirs was a self-righteousness. Even their best efforts fell far short of God’s standard of perfection. The Holy Spirit says, “You are not righteous enough on your own. You need the righteousness of Christ imputed into your account because you are a sinner. But if you will trust in Jesus, this righteousness will be given to you.” If we repent, ask God to forgive our sins, and receive Christ as Savior and Lord, we receive His righteousness. So, when God looks at us, He sees the perfect righteousness of His Son. And He welcomes us into His presence forever. That’s the truth the Holy Spirit guides us into. Reflection question: How would you respond to someone who said, “I’m going to Heaven when I die because I’m a good person”?

“And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” (John 16:8–9 NLT) Over the next few days, we’re going to look at the nature and work of the Holy Spirit, one of God’s greatest gifts to us. The Holy Spirit performs vital duties in this world. Yet many of them go unnoticed because we simply take them for granted. But it’s important for God’s people to understand and celebrate His work. So, let’s start with this one: The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, “And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me” (John 16:8–9 nlt). The Holy Spirit shows us that we are sinners. He communicates the amazing truth of Jesus’ death and resurrection. He shows us that we need to turn to God. Without the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, none of us ever would have come to Jesus. That’s why, when I pray for a nonbeliever, I say, “Lord, convict them by Your Holy Spirit.” If I tell someone that Jesus has made my life fuller and better, and that I have joy and peace, they will think, “Well, that’s fine for you.” But what they need to realize is that they’re a sinner in need of a Savior. And that’s the work of the Spirit. The Spirit convicts us of our sin—not to drive us to despair, but to send us into the open arms of Jesus. On the Day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter delivered a sermon. Some of the people in the audience were culpable in Jesus’ crucifixion. Acts 2:37 says, “Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what should we do?’” (NLT). The Holy Spirit was doing the piercing. The idea of piercing someone’s heart may be a little unsettling—if you imagine the act as an attack with a knife. But what if the blade is a scalpel? And the one wielding it is a highly trained surgeon? And the piercing is a necessary procedure to remove a cancerous tumor? Suddenly the scenario is reframed as a life-giving act of mercy. So it is with the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. He reveals the ugly truth—that we are sinners, powerless to save ourselves. He reveals the dire consequences—that we face God’s eternal judgment. And then He reveals the life-giving truth—that God made salvation possible through the sacrifice of His Son. The Holy Spirit pierces our hearts—not to weaken us or destroy us, but to save us. He shows us just how much we need Jesus. Reflection question: What did the convicting work of the Holy Spirit look like in your life?

In this message, Pastor Gunther unpacks Jesus' words to His disciples about sorrow being turned into joy. Just as labor pains give way to the joy of new life, so too does anguish in following Christ transform into unshakable joy through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are reminded of our suffering brothers and sisters around the world, the gift of the Spirit who guides us into truth, and the assurance that our prayers in Jesus' name are heard by the Father. Though the world may rejoice while believers weep, Christ promises a joy that no one can take away. Be encouraged that even in anguish, God is at work bringing forth life, hope, and joy by His Spirit. —

In this message, Pastor Steve continues our study through John 16, where Jesus prepares His disciples for the world's hatred and the reality of persecution. This week's message is especially heavy as we reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a man who boldly proclaimed his faith in Christ. His life—and his death—remind us that the world is not our home and that following Jesus comes at a cost. From John 16:1-15, we see three truths in Jesus' words: 1. His warning prepares us so we do not fall away. 2. His warning reminds us that we have work to do as witnesses of the Gospel. 3. His warning reassures us that the Holy Spirit will equip us to endure life's challenges. The Spirit of God convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—and empowers believers to live boldly for Christ, even in the face of suffering. May Charlie's legacy and Jesus' words remind us to live with eternal purpose and to trust the Spirit's power in our lives. —

In John 16:1-4, Jesus warns His disciples about coming persecution and prepares them so they won't fall away when opposition arises. Pastor Steve Henry continues last week's theme from 2 Corinthians 4:17. Looking at the example of Stephen's martyrdom in Acts 7, Pastor Steve contrasts empty religion with true Christianity. Religion is man's attempt to reach God through outward works, but true Christianity is God reaching out to us through Christ—saving us by grace through faith and giving us new life. Even when persecution comes from within the church, Jesus reminds us that we belong to Him, and He has already warned us so that we may stand firm in faith. —

August 31, 2025 Speaker: Pastor Chris Wachter We'd love to be praying with you or for you! Send us a prayer request here: https://hiawathachurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/2857
Send me a Text Message!In this episode we are going to talk about a type of prayer that I believe is urgently important in our day. I believe that God is stirring up people globally and locally, a fresh move of God on the way. But I think He is still looking for people who will travail in prayer. I must have 100 books on prayer. Only a few of those written in the last 2-3 decades have even a chapter on travailing prayer. If you want to read about travailing prayer you have to go to the old books birthed in revival. And yet, the Bible is filled with examples of people who wrestled with God, travailed, groaned and cried out in prayer to see God's purposes birthed in their lives and the world around them. So I have to ask us, Who are the people in our day who will travail in prayer?
