In times of darkness and tribulation, we’re called to examine our hearts and cling to hope. The sermon delves into 1 John 2, challenging us to love one another and resist harboring hatred. As believers, we’re reminded that the world may hate us for our faith, but we must respond with love, even towards our enemies. This message encourages us to be bold in sharing our faith, not just in public squares, but in our homes and daily lives. We’re urged to be prepared to give an answer for the hope within us, with gentleness and respect. The cultural darkness we’re experiencing should not divide us, but rather unite us in Christ’s love. As we navigate these challenging times, let’s rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer.
