“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father. This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures: ‘They hated me without cause.’

Does your heart feel troubled today? Are circumstances weighing you down? Listen to this beautiful plan on healing your heart.
Scripture tells us to guard our hearts, but if your heart is hurting, how do you heal it? Whether you're experiencing jealousy, injustice, loneliness or rejection, your brokenness isn't too much for Jesus to mend. In this 3-part plan, you'll find encouragement and hope as you experience God's healing.
Lots of people are simply making it. They are not thriving at life–they are just surviving life. Do you find yourself in that group–the group that is just surviving? There is a way to thrive no matter what your circumstances may be. The Bible calls it an “overcoming spirit.”
Do you find yourself swerving around potholes as you drive down the road? If we're honest, we typically prefer the smoothest ride possible, opting for comfort at every turn, free of tolls & road rage. In life, most people crave a bump-free journey, too. Much to humanity's dismay, Jesus issued the disappointing news in John 16, verse 33: “Here on earth you will have many trials & sorrows.” Why didn’t He tell His faithful followers that He was removing heartache & tragedy from this earth? Let's talk about life's unwelcomed detours & how we can navigate them with the Truth of God's Word.
