John - Not Abandoned

This week we continue our journey through John, arriving at chapter 16 as Jesus prepares His disciples for the reality of His departure. We look at how Jesus warns that the world, the cosmos of systems opposed to Him, will hate us just as it hated Him, whether that system shows up as anxiety, materialism, consumer debt, or the pressure to perform. We are reminded that even though Jesus is leaving His disciples' physical presence, He has already overcome the world, and something better is coming for those who follow Him.
