Final Lessons on the Way to the Cross: Our Relationship with the World

On Sunday, March 27, 2022, Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message in person and online via YouTube Live. Pastor Stuart continues our series on Final Lessons on the Way to the Cross. This week we are encouraged to love one another, remembering that following the ways of Jesus (walking in love) can and will lead to misunderstanding and persecution.

This is my command: Love each other. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
John 15:17-21 (NIV)
