What did Jesus mean when He said the world would hate His followers? In this message from Covenant Church Doylestown, we explore Jesus’ teaching in John 15–16 during the final night before His crucifixion. Jesus prepares His disciples for the reality that following Him may bring opposition, misunderstanding, and even persecution. But He also promises something powerful: the help of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon we explore: • Why the world often resists the message of Jesus • The difference between hiding faith and faithfully living it • How the Holy Spirit empowers believers to bear witness • Why Jesus said it was better for Him to go away • How God works in people’s hearts to bring conviction and faith Even in a hostile culture, followers of Jesus are not alone. God’s Spirit is present, guiding, empowering, and helping believers live faithfully.
