John 14:15-21 | When we think of someone being an “advocate” for us, we may think of someone who stands up for us, someone who steps in when we need it most, someone who speaks or acts on our behalf, or someone who is present with us as an encouragement or a comforter. These “advocates” often make quite the difference in our lives, sometimes in ways we can’t describe. And yet, in the Spirit, we are given an Advocate who goes beyond these actions. Join us this weekend for worship as we hear the promise of our Advocate who unites us with the very life of God, and as we receive the call to join our lives with our neighbors as living advocates.
