Read John 15:18-16:4

1. What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?
   

2. Tell of a time you were hated because of your faith, faced persecution on any level. How did you react?
   

3. Why exactly was Jesus so hated by so many? See John 7:7. How does this cause the world to hate us?
   

4. If persecution is a reality, is it wrong to flee from it? Or is enduring it always the right thing to do? Defend your position!
   

5. How exactly does the Holy Spirit empower your witnessing (John 15:26-27)?
