Chris Richards sermon at Canley Community Church

2. Facing opposition

3. Expect opposition
Why?
"If the world hates you,
keep in mind that it
hated me first.”

4. Because
we do not
belong to
the world
Why?
“If you belonged to the world, it
would love you as its own.”

5. Because
we do
belong to
Christ
Why?

6. Expect
unjust
opposition
`They hated me
without reason.'

7. Expect
fierce
opposition
… a time is
coming when
anyone who
kills you will
think he is
offering a
service to God.

8. What
about us?
Be thankful
Be aware

9. “Children need to be
protected so that they have
a proper education and not
be indoctrinated into
whatever religion their
parents happen to have
been brought up in”

10. What
about us?
Be thankful
Be aware
Be active

11. How do we respond?
We witness to the world!
With the help of
the Holy Spirit
