in the midst of a culture that hates our
God and that hates the Lord Jesus Christ
those who preach Jesus and who do so
boldly and publicly cannot be ignored
something has to be done this pastor
right here was falsely accused and
arrested for sharing the message of the
Gospel in a gay community
the fruit of our boldness is opposition
marginalization we will be shunned we
will be passed over we will be accused
and this preacher was the last for
preaching the gospel at a quiet event
we will be called names we will be it's
inevitable and this Street Preacher was
rudely interrupted in arrest for
preaching from John 3 16.
this one and only son that whoever
believes in Jesus
[Music]
why for my name's sake
they persecute you because they hate me
there is always a price to pay when you
are faithful to the preaching of the
gospel of Christ in this world because
the kingdom of darkness stands in
opposition to the kingdom of God and
this culture hates our God in the gospel
that we preach so they persecute in
prison cancel arise and marginalize
Christians so that we would just stop
preaching the gospel we just stop
proclaiming Christ if we stop preaching
the gospel then the world and this
culture would fall in love with us there
is a clash that takes place and this is
why it's so easy not to preach the
gospel because you can avoid The Clash
you can avoid the opposition you can
avoid the hatred you can avoid the name
calling in fact you can be on the other
end of the spectrum you can have people
love you and applaud you if you just
stop so the problem is not without
education per se or social status or
what we may or may not possess the issue
is the message The Dilemma is Jesus
Christ that is why we are hated by the
world one would think the people that
constantly claim love and acceptance for
all would listen to that which is
different from their opinion one would
imagine the lgbtq community whose model
States Love Is Love would accept the
love of the message of Christ on the
contrary they hated and within minutes
they conspired and had this pastor
arrested and taken away why because of
the message of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ because of the message of
repentance from sin that's the issue it
isn't that Christians are unkind
unlovable not nice it's what they
represent that the unregenerate hate
they represent the gospel which indicts
all these as Sinners on their way to
Hell who need to repent and believe in
Jesus Christ and that's the only way to
be saved
they hate that message
they hate
the Christ of the Gospel everyone may
seem to get along with you at work in
your neighborhood in your family but the
moment you mention the name Jesus Christ
that's when you see a fork in the world
and those who are willing to gather with
you scatter because of the name Jesus
Christ parents disowned our daughters
they'd associate themselves from their
sons and turned their backs from family
members who have decided to follow the
lord Jesus Christ the moment you mention
repentance from sin salvation from Hell
faith in Jesus Christ and Christ Alone
those that used to be a friend simply
cannot get along with you anymore why
because of the men in the message that
we preach there are many of you who on
your jobs You've Been Told
[Music]
don't use that name
[Music]
some of you may have even been
reprimanded for using that name
and here you are you're forced
supposedly to choose between your your
job and your sustenance and feeding your
family and and using that name and the
Temptation in that moment is to say I
listen I will do the same thing I will
say the same thing I will just tiptoe
around the name
so what do we do the Apostle Paul says
in First Corinthians chapter 1 verses 22
and 24 but we preach Christ's crucified
unto the Jews of stumbling block and
unto Greek's foolishness but unto them
which are called both the Jews and
Greeks Christ the power of God and the
wisdom of God Jesus Christ is a
stumbling block you are hated for
Christ's sake and despised because of
the message of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ This Hate and animosity will even
come from the very people who are
supposed to love us Jesus said to the
disciples that they were going to be
hated even by the brothers and sisters
because of the message of the Gospel you
will be delivered up even by parents
and brothers and relatives and friends
and they will put some of you to death
and you will be hated by all on account
of my name everybody is going to hate
you on account of my name right down to
your intimate circle of friends and
family
you're not just going to be hated by the
Gentiles you're going to be hated by the
Jews you're not just going to be hated
by the Jews you're going to be hated by
your own parents and your own brothers
and sisters who resent the gospel
you're gonna be hated
by everyone
because of my name for my name's sake
because you identify with me that is why
Christians all over the world are being
persecuted because of who they represent
they are imprisoned and killed by the
thousands because of the spirit who
lives in them they are targeted because
of the message they preach that message
convicts Sinners of their sin and tells
them clearly that if they do not repent
and put their faith in Jesus Christ they
will die and go to hell that message the
world hates and Rebels against gods for
it this Rebellion is found in everything
that we do and touch and it's happening
ever increasingly on every level in our
culture and in every sector of our
society for every age group we are
seeing a rise in blatant in your face
Rebellion against God it's in the stores
you're shopping it's in the schools
where you send your children to how
military commanders have turned their
backs on God all teachers have turned
their backs on the truth of the Bible or
doctors universities and government more
and more seem to be collectively
building a new Tower of Babel painted in
rainbow colors shaking the fists against
God and since the cannot literally fight
God they redirect that hate and
animosity towards the representatives of
God namely Christians we think
about 160
000 Christians are killed
every year
since 1990. this persecution will get
worse
far worse in the time of tribulation I
don't want you to be surprised to any of
this because Jesus over and over again
during this Earthly Ministry warned the
disciples and ultimately us he warned us
of what the world will say in response
to our preaching he warned us of what
this ungodly culture will do to us and
how they will react to the message of
the cross the Bible says in First
Corinthians 1 18 for the message of the
Cross is foolishness to those who are
perishing but to us who are being saved
it is the power of God and again in
Romans 1 16 the Apostle Paul defines the
characteristic of the Gospel by saying
for I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ for it is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that believeth to
the Jew first and also to the Greek that
message the world hates why does Paul as
it were need to come to this point at
the end of his letter and say boy if you
don't hear anything else listen to this
[Music]
why is this charge so necessary for
[Music]
time is coming when people will not
endure sound teaching but having itching
ears they will accumulate for themselves
teachers to suit their own passions and
will turn away from listening to the
truth and wander off into myths as for
you always be sober minded endure
suffering do the work of an evangelist
fulfill your ministry
foreign why do we need to be charged to
do that
because there's a price to pay when you
do that in the midst of a culture that
loves you if you do everything else but
that this doesn't make sense to me why
would anyone hate the message of
Salvation from sin in Hell the Bible
instructs us that to Believe In Christ
is not simply a profession of words or a
prayer that we pray as we go back to our
sins and former way of life to Believe
In Christ is to give up all that we are
for all that is to Believe In Christ is
to run away from all sins and never look
back and surrender our life to God to
Believe In Christ is to die to this
world in its futile pleasures and live
according to his word and his Spirit to
Believe In Christ is to hate your mother
and father and even your own life that
is to say your love for Jesus Christ
must be primary and above everything
else Jesus says in Luke 14 26 if anyone
comes to me and does not hate his father
and mother and wife and children and
brothers and sisters yes even his own
life it cannot be my disciple the world
loves the things that are in the world
and hates the things of the kingdom of
God God the well-loved sins and the
pleasures of the darkness are you going
to love the world and reject God are you
going to love the things that are in the
world and turn your back on God my
friend listen to me you must leave the
world in the things that are in the
world because the gobble has been
dropped and there was the verdict Jesus
said in John 3 19 this is the verdict
light has come into the world but people
love Darkness instead of light because
their deeds were evil everyone who does
evil hates the light and will not come
into the light for fear that their deeds
will be exposed this Canadian Pastor
named David Lynn was falsely accused and
arrested simply because they were
sharing the message of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ in a gay community and the
reason why they got him arrested was not
because he was causing disturbance it
was not because he was unloving unkind
and he was disturbing the peace of the
neighborhood they got him arrested
because they loved Darkness instead of
light they got impressed because they
loved their sins more than the truth of
the Gospel they got him arrested for
fear that their deeds of homosexuality
would be exposed the world all hates the
light they hate the gospel they hate
Christ and everything and everyone who
represents God so what do we do
[Music]
it apart Christ the Lord Is Holy and
always be ready to give an answer to
anyone who asks you the reason the
reason for the hope that is in you yet
do it with gentleness and respect have
to be honest that it sometimes bothers
me to see the philosophy with which the
world embarks on their quest to Snuff
out the truth of the Gospel but I am so
much more encouraged because Jesus said
the world would behave exactly that way
John 15 Verse 18 says if the world hates
you understand that it hated me first if
you were of the world he would love you
as its own instead the world hates you
because you're a net of the world but I
have chosen you out of the world Jesus
said again in John 14 16 I will ask the
father and it will give you another
Advocate to help you and be with you
forever the spirit of Truth the world
cannot accept him because it neither
sees him nor knows him but you know him
boy lives with you and will be in you
and as we are being shunned ostracized
arrested persecuted and killed by the
world we will praise God for we have
someone that the world doesn't have we
know someone that the squirrel does not
know it is the spirit of God and in the
midst of trials and tribulations We Sing
It Is Well with me in the midst of
arrests and false accusations we're
seeing it as well with My Soul as we get
thrown into prison cells we rejoice and
as our feet and arms are being Shackled
yet we praise Him forevermore for to me
to live is Christ and to die is gain
even though you will be hated by all on
account of my name
yet not a hair
of your head
will perish
you may die
[Music]
but you're gonna be okay
it's the worst that can happen to the
believer is the best that can happen to
the Lord
the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ is the only hope for the sin
cursed world and until the day we draw
our last breath we will continue boldly
preaching and proclaiming the name of
Jesus Christ who is the way the truth
and the life and at this moment I'd like
