The Comforter is a 5-week Bible study that features the conversation of Jesus with His disciples in the gospel of John chapters 14, 15, and 16.

The study is designed to unpack this amazing conversation as Jesus sought to prepare His disciples for His imminent departure from the earth via the crucifixion, resurrection, and ultimately ascension to the right hand of the Heavenly Father. Jesus explained to His friends what He had planned for them: another Comforter who would take His place in their lives. We know this Comforter as the Holy Spirit.

This journey is a deep dive into the wonderful provision of Jesus for His believers and followers.
