"Hated by the World, Held by Christ" continues our journey through John 15 by revealing that while following Jesus brings opposition from the world, it also brings the unshakable security of belonging to Him.
In this message, Pastor David teaches from John 15:18–25 as we continue our expository series through John 15. Jesus prepares His followers for the reality that those who belong to Him will face rejection because they belong to Him. Yet even in the face of persecution, we can stand firm, knowing that our identity is secure in Christ and that He will faithfully sustain all who remain in Him.
