The Upper Room: John 15:18-16:4a - Pastor Jason Foreman
In this message from the series The Upper Room, Pastor Jason examines John 15:18–16:4a, exploring Jesus’ final teaching to His disciples regarding the reality of living as His followers in a fallen world.
A life that is increasingly Christ-like faces increasing rejection and opposition. As believers abide in Christ and produce spiritual fruit, their lives naturally contrast with a world in rebellion against God. Jesus prepares His disciples for this dynamic by outlining five foundational truths about opposition:
A life that is increasingly Christ-like faces increasing rejection and opposition. As believers abide in Christ and produce spiritual fruit, their lives naturally contrast with a world in rebellion against God. Jesus prepares His disciples for this dynamic by outlining five foundational truths about opposition:
- The Opposition Is Aimed at God
- The Opposition Is a Result of Christ-Likeness
- The Opposition Is an Opportunity for Gospel Witness
- The Opposition Is Not a Sign of Failure
- We Can Face Opposition by the Power of the Spirit Alive in Us
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus spent His final hours not thinking of Himself, but of those He loved. He washed weary feet, comforted troubled hearts, promised the Holy Spirit, prepared His followers for suffering, prayed for their faith, and prayed even for us.
In this 12-week journey through John 13–17, we'll see the love of Christ displayed in remarkable ways, and discover how His love continues to shape and sustain His people today.
Pastor Jason Foreman preaches from the Shakopee Campus.
