John 15v18-27

Jesus warns His disciples, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." This sermon explores the joy of being chosen by God, which leads to the unavoidable reality of separation. We are reminded that our identity as citizens of God’s Kingdom makes us separate from the world, and that there is an irrational opposition simply for bearing Christ’s name. This message continues with an encouragement and assurance that we are never alone (The Holy Spirit is our Advocate). In turn, we have confidence to testify to the truth of Jesus, grounded in the reliability of His word and the apostolic tradition.
