John 15:18-16:4 | Why the World Hates Christians

Jesus didn’t promise His followers an easy road. In John 15, He warned His disciples that the world would hate them—not because of who they were, but because of who He is. To follow Jesus means to stand apart from the world, and that often brings opposition, rejection, and even suffering.

In this message, Paul Medley unpacks Jesus’ words about the cost of discipleship and the courage it takes to live faithfully in a world that doesn’t always understand or welcome the gospel. The good news? We are not alone—Christ is with us, and He has given us the Spirit to strengthen us.
