Jesus Prepares His Disciples (and Us) for Trials

After preparing and equipping the Apostles for the work of ministry, he prepares them (and us) for the trials and troubles they are sure to encounter. In each instance the hard part is eased by the promise of aid or encouragement.

We will see:

1. They are Weak, but Strong in Christ
2. They are Persecuted, but Helped by God
3. They are Hated, but so Was Christ
