Preparing for Persecution
John 15:18-16:4
What is Persecution?

Why does Persecution happen?

When we come to Christ our loyalties change.

The world is opposed to Christ because you cannot have two Lords.
--
How do we respond to persecution?

Scripture prepares us for persecution because it feeds the areas under attack.
--
We should not expect to be treated better than Jesus.
--
The Holy Spirit enables us to not only endure persecution but to thrive in the face of persecution.
