John 14:25-31 - Peace, I Leave With You

In this sermon, Rev. Chris Vogel looks at John 14:25-31. Jesus’ farewell to the disciples continues in these verses as he tells them that the Holy Spirit, the Helper, will be left with them. The procession of the Spirit from the Father and the Son is the peace, the shalom, that this world can never give. Rest from anxiety and fear comes not in power plays of strength or might, but in the death and resurrection of Christ. It is there we have true shalom.
