The Spirit strengthens witness in persecution (John 15:26-16:4)

Sunday message from 1 June 2025 on John 15:26-16:4This sermon begins with the story of Hatun Tash—a Christian from Turkey enduring brutal persecution in London, including being stabbed and imprisoned for her faith. Yet she still proclaims Jesus with boldness. As you listen, you will learn to rest entirely on God’s grace when suffering threatens to overwhelm you. Persecution of the Christian church is very present globally (over 12 believers killed and 20 church buildings attacked every day). However, the account tells you of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who, in the face of such darkness, continually reminds you to trust in His working in you and those you witness to and in Christ’s victory over sin and death.
