Introduction

Coaching is a big deal in todays world… When we used the word coach it used to apply only to sports but now we find coaching in just about every field.

We have life Coaches, fitness Coaches, Business Coaches… there are leadership and pastor Coaches...

It is widely accepted that Coaching improves performance…

There has been an increase in coaching industry.

A 2009 study of the professional coaching industry by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD), reported that coaching was used by 90% of the organizations surveyed.

Additionally, even during the economic downturn, 70% of the organizations surveyed reported that they were increasing or maintaining their commitment to coaching.

Bill Gates put it best when he said: “Everyone needs a coach.

We all need people to give us feedback.

That’s how we improve.”

Why is coaching so important?

We don’t have to go far to find a Coach - There all kind of options out there...

We don’t have to go far to find a Coach we have virtual coaches who will train you right from your computer…

Albert Einstein once said: “Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”

In other words….... at some point or some level we all get stuck and what is needed is a fresh perspective - Coach often is able to give us new perspective and challenge us to grow in areas we never thought about..

....

So at some point or some level we all get stuck and what is needed is a fresh perspective - Often a Coach can shed light on our short sightedness.

Often a Coach can shed light on our short sightedness.

A married couple will tell us of the benefit of a Christian counselor.

An athlete will talk about the importance of a trainer or a coach.

A businessperson will talk about the power of a team.

In life, we all need support—and when we get it, it makes all the difference in the world.

....

We all get stuck and sometimes someone with an objective perspective can shed light on our short sightedness.

The Biggest advantages of a coach is that it give us a new perspective, a new technique or strategy to elevate our game.’’

Coaches will see our both our weaknesses and potential..

They also stand on your side of the corner cheering us you on…

When I first ran track in prep school, my coach invited me to his home for dinner.

After the meal, he pulled out a notebook with my name on the front cover.

He turned to the back page, which bore the heading “June 1957”—three and a half years away.

Coaches often sees our potential when we doubt ourselves..

They stand on your side of the room cheer you on…

“Gordon, these are the races I’m going to schedule you to run about four years from now.

Here are the times you will achieve.”

Gordon looked at those times.

They were light-years away from where I was as a runner.

Then Coach began turning back the pages of that book, page by page, showing the forty-two months he had scheduled for workouts.

These were the graduated, accelerated plans for my increasing skill on the track in the coming months.

When we are coached we come under someones leadership....

I have been receiving some coaching in the soft ware program that I use for Bible study… There is over 70 hours of training because or the complexities and nuencious in the program.... Learning so much…

Coaches and other leaders know the necessity of strategic, long-range planning.

Similarly, a wise and all-knowing God has a plan for our lives, as down through the years we gradually become more like Jesus....

T/s This morning I want to talk about a Coach that all of us have access to...

Coaches have been around along time..

“if you place yourself in the hands of a man rich in virtue, you will become the heir of the good qualities he possesses and you will be supremely blessed with God and men.

On the other hand, if, to spare the body, you seek a master who will condescend or, rather, degrade himself to the level of your vices, all in vain did you endure the struggle of renunciation, since you have surrendered yourself to a life of gratifying your passions by choosing a blind guide who will lead you.”

How many of us would like a life Coach that would pop up during our day and help us make some decision… Give us wisdom.... and I am not talking about google search...

This morning I want to talk about a Coach that all of us have access to..

…Jesus told his disciples that when he left this world that he would send them the Holy Spirit…The HS would not only be with them but he would be in them…

1 John tells that you have that annointing inside of you.

So… the question.... is what

He would lead guide us in to truth...

He would abide in them… John expounds this idea of the Holy Spirit being our coach..

… The most important mentor, teacher, coach in our lives is much closer than we think… you see…Jesus told his disciples that when he left this world that he would send them the Holy Spirit…The HS would not only be with them but he would be in them… He would abide in them… 1 John tells that you have that annointing inside of you.

God uses people in our lives… pastors, teaches, friends… godly men and woman of God… but sometimes we forget … The most important mentor, teacher, coach in our lives much closer than we think… you see…Jesus told his disciples that when he left this world that he would send them the Holy Spirit…The HS would not only be with them but he would be in them… He would abide in them… 1 John tells that you have that annointing inside of you.

but sometimes we forget … The most important teacher actual is closer than we thing… and that is the Person of the Holy Spirit…

John tells us that we have been anointed… Annointing in the Bible refers to an appointment or purpose… Samuel took oil and anointed Saul and David to King of Israel… Jesus began his ministry he goes to the Synagogue and reads from the book of Isaiah… “the Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he has appointed me to preach the good news to the poor”

Jesus was appointed for purpose..

John says to the church have been appointed … you have a calling… Because who ever the HS descends upon has a calling..

This verse has tipped some people and it has been taken completely out of context.. … What we need to know is that Jesus was not dismantling the role of pastor and teachers… You can’t take this one verse and build a whole theology…

We have access to the greatest teacher… because the HS is God himself…

we have access to the greatest teacher… and its God himself… Some people read this verse and think well we don’t need any teaches… That is not what is being taught here...

What we need to know is that Jesus was not dismantling the role of pastor and teachers… You can’t take this one verse and build a whole theology… scripture interprets scripture…

God has gifted the Church with five fold ministry in… — He gave Apostle, prophets, Evangelist, pastors and teaches for the edifying and building up of the church...

Jesus was not dismantling the role of teachers - God would have never gifted us gifted the Church with five fold ministry in… — if he was doing away with pastors and teachers… rather.

Rather in addition to apostles, the prophets, the shepherds and teaches Pastor teachers for our edification…

He has given us the apostles, the prophets, the shepherds and teaches Pastor teachers for our edification…

John is saying there is a trump.. in the deck… because On top of this… the icing on the cake is that you have been given the Holy Spirit..

Rather than subtracting from the roles of apostles, the prophets, the pastors and teaches --- We have been given the HS… He has gifted the church all these resouces so the we will edified and equipped...

He has given us both…

Ontop of all this… the icing on the cake is that you have been given the Holy Spirit..

The Holy Spirit…is a unique teacher —

When Jesus sent out his Disciple they said we don’t know what to say…Jesus responds the Holy Spirit will help you in that moment.. — Likewise we don’t know how to pray… the holy spirit will intercede for us with groanings too deep for words...

the Holy Spirit is God himself…

has a unique teacher —

The HS is unique teacher because He is alway there....

master expounder....

He is always available.. The Holy Spirit has the ability bring lessons back to us when we need it…

The HS is the Author and the Chief expounder of the Scriptures...

The disciples had been enrolled in Jesus’ Seminary for three years… they had Jesus as their teacher - they had formal teaching and on- the-field experience…But..

They still weren’t getting it....

The still didn’t understand.... but instead of flunking them all… Jesus says, I am giving you the HS.. keep the process going… keep on learning and growing..

His disicples had been enrolled in Seminary for three years… they had the best teacher - they had formal teaching and on- the-field experience… They still weren’t getting it...
