Russ Sukhia delivers another convicting sermon entitled: Hated by the World? Here’s a brief description of this message:
‘I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.’ ‘Excuse me, did I hear you say something about Christians being hated by the world? I don’t remember reading that in your promotional literature. I remember the part about the joys of heaven and sins forgiven, love, joy, peace, etc. But I don’t recall anyone telling me I would be hated by the world?’ What did Jesus mean by ‘the world’ (kosmos)?What was there about Jesus that the world could hate? What is there about Christians that the world can hate? Jesus was hated because He rebuked the world for sin, because He was different from others, and because of the exclusiveness of His claims. With references to modern persecution, this message points out how Christians are hated for the same reasons.

Excellent sermon! I especially liked at the end when he asked questions designed to make us examine ourselves to see if we are aligned with the world or with Jesus. Thank you for that sermon! 🙂

Dear Carol:
Thank you for your comment and long time no see. I used to see much more of you over at RN.
Anyway, thanks for the comment. Sometimes I wonder if anyone ever listens to the weekly sermons I post. It’s always encouraging to hear when someone not only listens to them, but is blessed, challenged or strengthened by them.
If you liked this one, just wait. I have some really good ones coming the next few weeks from Paul Washer, John Piper, Chuck Betters, and more Russ Sukhia. Every sermon I post is handpicked (means I’ve listened to it and think it’s good enough to share).
Just FYI, I post a new sermon every Wednesday. I also post a sermon series by Pastor Mark Escalera every Saturday on the book of Ephesians.
