2026-05-10: Love, Obey, Abide - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen
About this episode
Rev. Dr. Wade Allen discusses the connection between love and obedience in the context of the Holy Spirit's presence in the Christian life.
In this sermon from John 14:15-21, Jesus promises his disciples on the night of his arrest that he would not leave them alone, but would send the Holy Spirit to be their permanent advocate, guide, and presence. The sermon traces the inseparable connection between love and obedience, showing how loving Jesus expresses itself in keeping his commands, and how that obedience opens the door to the indwelling life of the Spirit. Worshippers will be challenged to stop living the Christian life in their own strength and to lean into the presence and power of the Holy Spirit who lives in them.
