Notes: emmauscf.org/sermons
*Begin with sharing general thoughts about the Sermon/Sermon Text*
1. What does Jesus mean when he says ““If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” In John 15:18-19 ESV? Explain.
2. Do you have non Christian friends in which you minister to on a regular basis? Share.
3. What does it mean practically to be in the world, but not of the world pertaining to Christ? Share, explain, and discuss.
Family Application: Discuss this week’s Catechism questions and share how to communicate these truths to your family.
Gospel Sharing Application: Share about ways in which you have been able to share, proclaim, display, or model the Gospel during this last week.
Suggested verse for meditation:
“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.”
John 15:26-27 ESV
