The World Will Hate You

Dear Church,

I was encouraged by Tyler’s message last Sunday on Jesus as our Vine. This week we’ll cover the rest of the chapter as we look at John 15:18–27. It’s a clarifying text, to say the least. Jesus explains to his disciples why the world hates him and his people. He then reminds them—and us—that our Helper, the Spirit, has been given to us so that we might be a witness for the Lord in this God-hating world. What a timely passage for us as we live in a culture that increasingly considers what we believe to be hate speech. I hope our time in this text will fortify and strengthen us! 

Praise God! We’ll also have the privilege of seeing several new members baptized. 

See you Sunday!
